We return once more to documenting the county’s historic markers, where I pedal my bicycle all over the county looking for the markers. This makes the 32nd you’ve seen in this series so far:
This field had corn in it in this picture, but the plot allows agronomists to study fertilization on a 3-year rotation of cotton, corn, wheat and soybean. The researchers would tell you there are few places in the country where you can see the effect of such dramatic deficiencies of plant nutrients. The experiment continues now into its second century. You can read about it on the markers page. And you check out the full run of markers here. (Click through the pins on the map on that page’s banner to explore some of the other local historic locations.)
Enjoy, happy pedaling and happy reading!
