Released here in a sixtieth anniversary edition and updated and introduced by Walter Thomas Jack's great-grandson Zachary, this new edition of The Furrow and Us serves as a clarion call to steward the natural and familial heritage of the soil.
First published in 1946, Walter Thomas Jack''s classic book of agricultural essays, The Furrow and Us, intensified the till versus no-till debate, called by Time magazine "the hottest farming argument since the tractor first challenged the horse." Hailed as "the answer" to Edward Faulkner''s Plowman''s Folly, Jack''s cautionary memoir of agricultural progress between world wars treats the soil''s intimate needs, its "hidden hungers," with the lyricism and love characteristic of an Iowa Quaker, schoolteacher, and conservation farmer. Released here in a sixtieth anniversary edition and updated and introduced by Walter Jack''s great-grandson Zachary, this new edition serves as a timely call to steward the good soils that sustain us.
