1 553 ac. 84 329 - CONSERVATION TILLAGE SYSTEM: Fallow til -
lage operations will be limited to 3 rod weeds
(or sweep) and disking. This will leave approxi-
mately 36% of the residue produced on the surface
at planting time.
1 553 ac. 84 344 - CROP RESIDUE USE: Residues will be left on
the surface to control wind erosion. The above
tillage system will leave sufficient residues for
wind erosion protection.
1 553 ac. 84 328 - CONSERVATION CROPPING SYSTEM: A wheat
fallow crop rotation will be used. Fertilizer
will be applied according to soil tests. Nitroger
especially may be needed to compensate for past
years of grassland and large amounts of nitrogen
tied up in the residues left by a conservation
tillage system.
1 553 ac. 85 589 - STRIPCROPPING, WIND: After the first crop
year, alternate strips of fallow and wheat shall
be established. Strips shall be maximum of 1320
feet wide, as measured from north to south.
