As World War II was ending, Alfred Leatherbarrow, awounded Canadian veteran, and his nurse, Margaret, fell inlove, married, bought their dream farm-and discoveredthat their crops would not grow. The farm's soil had been exhaustedthrough years of destructive tillage practices.
Faced with certain defeat, they used innovative farmingtechniques-including a prototype forage harvester to gathergrass for silage-to restore the fertility of their farm. Thisearly experiment in sustainable agriculture not only savedthe farm in a rags-to-riches turnaround, but showed otherfarmers in their region how to pull out of the death spiral ofdecreasing fertility, yields, and income.
Gold in the Grass is a love story, a back-to-the-land adventure, and an inspirational example of how conservationtillage can restore the fertility of a used-up farm. This is agreat book, and has spent far too many of its fifty years outof print.
