Planning Considerations C. ni 1 . 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. Non-Irrigated Sorghums A. Pounds of residue required through the critical wind erosion period (November-May). Minimun Required Crop and Spacing Residue 1. Drilled sorghums on row 75011 spacing of 20" or less 2. Forage sorghum on 100011 20" - 40" rows 3. Grain sorghum on 1500# 20" - 40" rows When the above residue requirements are met, the practice will be considered adequate to hold the soil loss to the acceptable "T" level. B. Planning Considerations 1 . The above amounts of residue will be left on the soil surface through May or until spring seedbed preparation which usually 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.

Wind Erodibility Soil Group (WEG)-Determined by soils from Guide for Determining Adequate Wind Erosion Control Systems (Guide) for the Work Unit or County location of the field. Width of Exposure-The furthest distance the prevailing wind travels over the vulnerable part of the field. Specifications-Determined by use of appropriate Soil Loss tables from the Guide. This is determined in pounds of flat small grain residue equivalent. (If crops other than small grains are grown, this figure must be converted to the grown crop by use of the Chart to Determine the Amount of Residue of Various Crops Needed to Equal a Given Amount of Flat Small Grain Stubble from the Guide.)

Enter the amount of all residues on the soil surface, whether fallowed or tilled, or of stubble standing from the previous crop. This should be con- verted to flat small grain stubble equivalent. If a part of a field is cropped and the remainder is fallowed, residue amounts should be entered from both areas.
