As World War II was ending, Alfred Leatherbarrow, awounded Canadian veteran, and his nurse, Margaret, fell inlove, married, bought their dream farm-and discoveredthat their crops would not grow. The farm's soil had been exhaustedthrough years of destructive tillage practices.
Faced with certain defeat, they used innovative farmingtechniques-including a prototype forage harvester to gathergrass for silage-to restore the fertility of their farm. Thisearly experiment in sustainable agriculture not only savedthe farm in a rags-to-riches turnaround, but showed otherfarmers in their region how to pull out of the death spiral ofdecreasing fertility, yields, and income.
