Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adapting to the Land examines the extent to which Colorado agriculturists adapted to or stretched beyond the limits of land and water. Historian John F. Freeman and horticultural scientist Mark E. Uchanski document the state’s agricultural history and provide context for the shift away from traditional forms of agriculture to the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides—and, most recently, to more values-driven practices to support the burgeoning popularity of natural and organic foods. This shift has resulted in the establishment of the global organic food processing and distribution industry, which has roots in Colorado. Ancestral Puebloans farmed and grazed within the limits of nature. Early settlers adjusted their cultivation methods through trial and error, while later agriculturists relied on research and technical advice from the Colorado Agricultural College. As part of wartime mobilization, the federal government prompted farmers to efficiently increase yields. To meet the demand for food and fiber scientific and technical innovations led to the development of new plant cultivars and livestock breeds, advances in mechanization, and widespread use of synthetic amendments. Increasing concern over soil fertility and the loss of irrigation water to urbanization contributed to more changes. Despite, or perhaps because of, what we see today along the Front Range, Colorado may still have a chance to slow or even reverse its seemingly unrestrained growth, creating a more vibrant, earth-friendly society in which agriculture plays an increasingly significant part. Scientific discoveries and innovations in regenerative cultivation are clearing the path to a more sustainable future. Adapting to the Land adds an ecological and horticultural perspective to historical interpretations of recurring agricultural issues in the state and tracks the concept of stewardship, suggesting that spiritual beliefs continue to contribute to debates over acceptable agricultural practices and the effects of urbanization upon the land. This book will be a key resource for students, scholars, and general readers interested in agricultural and Colorado history, sustainability, and rural sociology.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extract: This study examines a comprehensive sample of farm and ranch landowners in seven Western Great Plains States. The sample is classified by land conversion activity between 1975 and 1977. More than 40,000 landowners (18 percent) in this area added cropland. The Northern Plains accounted for two-thirds of owners adding cropland. Operations adding cropland were of two types: new, expanding operations owned by younger, better educated, full-time farmers and established, speculative operations owned by older, less educated operators with a variety of nonfarm occupations. Soil erosion on land owned by those who converted land is little different than erosion on all land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colorado as an Agricultural State: Its Farms, Fields, and Garden Lands And to the South, from the Fontaine-qui-bouille and the Spanish Sierras, Fretted With sands and rocks, and swept by the wind of the desert, Numberless torrents, with ceaseless sound, descend to the ocean, Like the great chords of a. Harp, in loud and solemn vibrations. Spreading between the streams are wondrous, beautiful prairies, Billowy bays of grass are rolling in shadow and sunshine; Bright with the luxurious clusters of roses and purple amorphas. Over them wander the buffalo herds, and the elk, and the roebuck; Over them wander the wolves and herds of riderless horses; Fires that blast and blight, and winds that are weary with travel. Over them wander the scattered tribes of Ishmael's children, Staining the desert with blood, and above their terrible war-trail Circles and sails anost, on pinions majestic, the Vulture, Like the implacable soul of a chieftain slaughtered in battle.
