It's the bad farming practices that created the situation where the soil was vulnerable.
We're not talking about blame, but rather about determining the direct causes.
- cryptonector 2y agoIt's not simplistic because something could have been done (plant cover crops) but nothing was done. The textbooks I had claimed it was about monocultures and such, but the real issue was tilling, and we still till the soil today. So no, it's not a simplistic view.
- bluGill 2y agoThe type of plow used then is almost never used today. they used to turn the soil over butting top soil (aerobic stuff) under lower layers (anerobit stuff). Now they break up compaction but don't turn the soil over.
