John Andreas Widtsoe demonstrates an immense knowledge of soil and
farming conditions; much of the advice in this classic manual
remains useful and relevant to this day. An excellent collection of
knowledge is united in this guidebook, which commences by setting
out the concept and core principles of dry farming. Much of the
Earth is covered by land which receives only modest rainfall each
year; coupled with a lack of an underground water source and/or
water rights, many landowners found themselves having to grow crops
with dry farming methods. Widtsoe was one such farmer, and his
knowledge of the land's properties would prove decisive in his
success. The properties and composition of the soil are crucial in
deciding what crops to grow, making maximum use of limited water
resources in an unirrigated plot by encouraging the soil's water
retention, and sowing seeds with methods to maximize germination
are all important aspects of running a dry farm.
