Been reading a lot of biochar literature lately. Picked up with quote from Andrew Jackson Dowling:
"Canals and railroads wrote a one-way ticket for soil fertility. They bring from the West millions of bushels of grain, and send not one fertilizing atom back to restore the land. And in this way we shall by-and-by make the fertile prairies as barren as some of the worn out farms of Virginia."
This prescient statement was made in 1851 prior to the dust bowl.
