Book Description
Longleaf pine can be profitably grown as a forest crop on farms as well as on large industrial holdings throughout most of the Southern Coastal Plain. The tree is able to grow well even on poor sandy soils, withstands fires with less injury than other pines, and produces both naval stores and high-grade timber. Cattle grazing can be combined with timber production in longleaf forests to enable farmers to make more profitable dual use of their land. This bulletin offers suggestions to farmers and other timberland owners for establishing and managing longleaf pine.

Chemical Lands
Author: David D. Vail
Publisher: University of Alabama Press
ISBN: 0817319735
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
An exploration of the elaborate relationship between farmers, aerial sprayers, agriculturalists, crop pests, chemicals, and the environment. The controversies in the 1960s and 1970s that swirled around indiscriminate use of agricultural chemicals—their long-term ecological harm versus food production benefits—were sparked and clarified by biologist Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962). This seminal publication challenged long-held assumptions concerning the industrial might of American agriculture while sounding an alarm for the damaging persistence of pesticides, especially chlorinated hydrocarbons such as DDT, in the larger environment. In Chemical Lands: Pesticides, Aerial Spraying, and Health in North America’s Grasslands since 1945 David D. Vail shows, however, that a distinctly regional view of agricultural health evolved. His analysis reveals a particularly strong ethic in the North American grasslands where practitioners sought to understand and deploy insecticides and herbicides by designing local scientific experiments, engineering more precise aircraft sprayers, developing more narrowly specific chemicals, and planting targeted test crops. Their efforts to link the science of toxicology with environmental health reveal how the practitioners of pesticides evaluated potential hazards in the agricultural landscape while recognizing the production benefits of controlled spraying. Chemical Lands adds to a growing list of books on toxins in the American landscape. This study provides a unique Grasslands perspective of the Ag pilots, weed scientists, and farmers who struggled to navigate novel technologies for spray planes and in the development of new herbicides/insecticides while striving to manage and mitigate threats to human health and the environment.
