About the Author
Donald Schriefer passed from this life in 1998. This reprint of his first book now qualifies as modern classic of ecological agriculture. One of America's first "environmental agronomists," he is best known for his consulting work on behalf of many of the country's largest, most successful farmers. His innovation in tillage systems, foliar feeding of crops, and soil fertility management earned him the respect of both conventional and ecological farmers. He contributed frequently to agricultural publications and was well known for his lectures and seminars. His other books include From the Soil Up and Tillage in Transition.
