Agronomist and farmer Strickler distills a wide range of agronomy literature and his own experience into a compelling set of principles and techniques to stay ahead of drought and use water more thoughtfully even in times of plenty. Aimed in particular at the semiarid region of his native Kansas, his book emphasizes improvement of soil, maintenance of livestock with proactive management and planning, and redesign of agriculture through flexible and creative approaches to cover crops and livestock plus more efficient irrigation. Using a mix of conventional and sustainable farming practices that are realistic if sometimes unusual, this volume is highly technical in nature, but amusing anecdotes and dry humor help make the charts and tables easier to follow. Even home gardeners without livestock will find this material provides helpful background for understanding their own soil improvement strategy. VERDICT This valuable and entertaining summary offers some creative approaches to water use.--Margaret Heller, Loyola Univ. Chicago Libs.
