The Baldwin Ranches of Dickey County
The northern plains weren’t just plowed—they were planned, lived on, and studied with precision. Buried in the Baldwin Corporation records at NDSU’s archives is a rich, overlooked blueprint for sustainable farming, penned nearly a century ago. Orville Fuller’s 1924 thesis offers more than crop rotations and livestock stats—it captures a model of living with the land that still holds lessons today. As modern agriculture faces new pressures, this forgotten record might just offer a few ideas worth rediscovering.
That’s the focus of this week’s Plains Folk column by Tom Isern. Read or listen at Prairie Public News linked below.
