As World War II was ending, Alfred Leatherbarrow, a wounded Canadian veteran, and his nurse, Margaret, fell in love, married, bought their dream farmand discovered that their crops would not grow. The farms soil had been exhausted through years of destructive tillage practices. Faced with certain defeat, they used innovative farming techniquesincluding a prototype forage harvester to gather grass for silageto restore the fertility of their farm. This early experiment in sustainable agriculture not only saved the farm in a rags-to-riches turnaround, but showed other farmers in their region how to pull out of the death spiral of decreasing fertility, yields, and income. Gold in the Grass is a love story, a back-to-the-land adventure, and an inspirational example of how conservation tillage can restore the fertility of a used-up farm. This is a great book, and has spent far too many of its fifty years out of print. Gold in the Grass is an example of the Norton Creek Press motto: Most of the best books are out of print and forgotten, but we can fix that Check out our offerings on http: //www.nortoncreekpress.com.
