Subsurface tillage equipment such as sweeps, blades and rodweeders should be used for most tillage operations. 2. Chemical weed control to reduce the number of tillage operations is beneficial in managing the residue. 3. Reducing field widths is an effective way to reduce the need for large amounts of crop residue. 4. When inadequate residue is produced the soil surface will be ridged by chiseling or listing. II.

Planning Considerations 1. The above amounts of residue will be left on the soil surface c through May or until spring seedbed preparation which usually r` occurs in early April. Spring seedbed preparation should result in a ridged surface for wind erosion protection. 2. When inadequate residue is produced the soil surface will be ridged by chiseling or listing. Soils coarser than sandy loam usually require listing to provide satisfactory surface roughness. 3. Grazing will be restricted on machine harvested crops when marginal amounts of residue are produced.

Pastures for special use: 00x1' ; i, Grasses such as Crested wheat-grass and Pubescent wheatgrass are commonly used for early spring grazing until other forage is available. Realizing that production on the pasture will be reduced, acceptable management can be accomplished by heavyLon grazing for short periods during the spring, followed by defer— ment the remainder of the year. During the grazing period, v sufficient growth should be left to protect the soil from wind 0 and water erosion. This provision will be restricted to apply between April 1st and June 1st. II. Required Management Considerations fr '3 A. Observe recommended grazing heights shown in item I of these 0z specifications. Lora m w B.
