Summary[edit]

Description

Don't make the mistake of thinking native prairie is hard to break, just because it is solid grass. With the weight and size of modern equipment, the soils and root masses yield easily to the disk and plow. However, many native areas are still rocky, gravelly, or sandy--which makes them less productive for farming. For some, the benefits of breaking this land, fertilizing, seeding, and harvesting outweigh the costs. Money is nearly always the driving factor, and policies set within the Farm Bill and other legislation can have a tremendous affect on what's profitable.
