Nature's plows-earthworms
Tuesday, January 14, 2014
When I attended our Agriculture and Natural Resource Conference a few weeks ago at the MU campus, I saw several of the attendees holding a book. I finally acquired about why they had the book. I was told that Peter Scharf, our state soil fertility specialist, was giving them away. So I tracked him down to see what the book was all about. The name of the book is called "Dirt-The Erosion of Civilizations." It is written by David Montgomery, a geologist and a professor of earth and space sciences at the University of Washington.
