Description

Explore the connection between the Russian steppes and Great Plains agriculture in this historical study from Cambridge University Press. Beginning in the 1870s, migrant groups including Mennonites settled in the Great Plains, bringing essential grain and fodder crops, trees, and shrubs to the region. This book examines how these settlers influenced the landscape and how the US Department of Agriculture utilized the expertise of emigre Russian-Jewish scientists to introduce new agricultural sciences. Readers will learn about the development of soil science and methods for planting trees to protect the land from wind. By the 1930s, the impact was clear, as many grain varieties used in the Great Plains were originally imported from the steppes.
