Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crop Rotations and Soil Management for Eastern Canada The amount of manure which will be available on a farm will depend upon the number of stock which is kept, the amount of feed given and litter used, the number of months the animals are fed in the stable, and upon the care which is taken in the handling of the manure. Even when all the crops grown on the farm are fed to the stock and the animals are stabled for seven months of the year, it is doubtful whether under average conditions an application of manure could be given larger than that equivalent to 25 tons per acre per year or, on a four-year rotation, to one application of 10 tons of manure per acre. This quantity might be obtained when he yield of corn was 10 tons per acre, hay 2 tons per acre, and oats 50 bushe s per acre; if larger crop yields were secured, greater quantities of manure would be available. When fed in the stable, each cow produces approximately one ton of manure per month; the' amount which will be available for distribution to the land will depend upon the care and method which is employed in handling the manure. Animals utilize themselves over one-half of the organic matter in the food, about one-quarter of the nitrogen and phosphorus, and about one-eighth of the potassium. Unless care is taken in the handling of the manure, considerable additional losses of fertility will take place by fermentation, by leaching, and by failure to conserve the liquid portion of the manure.

Download or read book Dirt written by David R. Montgomery and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2007-05-14 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dirt, soil, call it what you want—it's everywhere we go. It is the root of our existence, supporting our feet, our farms, our cities. This fascinating yet disquieting book finds, however, that we are running out of dirt, and it's no laughing matter. An engaging natural and cultural history of soil that sweeps from ancient civilizations to modern times, Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations explores the compelling idea that we are—and have long been—using up Earth's soil. Once bare of protective vegetation and exposed to wind and rain, cultivated soils erode bit by bit, slowly enough to be ignored in a single lifetime but fast enough over centuries to limit the lifespan of civilizations. A rich mix of history, archaeology and geology, Dirt traces the role of soil use and abuse in the history of Mesopotamia, Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, China, European colonialism, Central America, and the American push westward. We see how soil has shaped us and we have shaped soil—as society after society has risen, prospered, and plowed through a natural endowment of fertile dirt. David R. Montgomery sees in the recent rise of organic and no-till farming the hope for a new agricultural revolution that might help us avoid the fate of previous civilizations.
