On This Day | Pasteur Science Promotes Plowing
Author

It is becoming evident that very many fenced pastures, especially those adjacent to buildings, have decreased in value during the past few years. The pastures have been over stocked and as a result the grasses in the pasture have decreased in quantity while certain native plants, particularly the small sages, have become very abundant. This holds true in any locality; indeed it is not difficult to find pastures where the useless native plants,—useless from a grazing standpoint, compose 75 per cent or more of the total vegetation. Certainly such pastures are carried at a decided loss.

Why We Chose It
Here’s proof that science is not a fixed belief, but one that evolves as new evidence emerges. Back then, it was thought that most efficient way to manage prairie productively was to plow it up. Today, we’re gaining an better understanding at how efficient mother nature was before we got here and are learning to mimic the practices she put in place.
