Book Synopsis
It was on July 5, 1943, when Plowman's Folly was first issued, that the author startled a lethargic public, long bemused by the apparently insoluble problem of soil depletion, by saying, simply, “The fact is that no one has ever advanced a scientific reason for plowing.” With the key sentence, he opened a new era.

Trade Review
Probably no book on an agricultural subject has ever prompted so much discussion in this country.""- Louis Bromfield in The Reader's Digest
