    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.Gold in the Grass is a love story, a back-to-the-land adventure,and an inspirational example of how conservationtillage can restore the fertility of a used-up farm. This is agreat book, and has spent far too many of its fifty years outof print.Gold in the Grass is an example of the Norton CreekPress motto: Most of the best books are out of print andforgotten, but we can fix that!
