[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by PNWRMNM</i> <br /><br /> <br />In the Columbia Basin and the Palouse dry land farming of wheat and barley is practical, but fields need to lie fallow every other year. In fact the NP, being the first railroad in the region imported experts to teach dry land farming in the 1880s and 1890s. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />It is true that growers in the more westerly portions of the Palouse must practice fallow techniques every other year, but growers in the eastern part of the Palouse have managed to grow crops anually. Our family land near Pullman hasn't been fallowed since the 1970's.
