adopted by the Weld County Board of County Commissioners
on May 19, 1982 , and requiring the issuance of permits for
the plowout and cultivation of grassland. Pursuant to Ordi-

•
•
Standard
Definition -
Growing crops in combination with needed cultural and management
measures. Cropping systems include rotations that contain grasses
and legumes as well as rotations in which the desired benefits are
achieved without the use of such crops.
Purpose
To improve or maintain good physical condition of the soil ; protect
the soil during periods when erosion usually occurs; help control
weeds , insects , and diseases; and meet the need and desire of farmers
for an economic return.
Where applicable
On all cropland and on certain recreation and wildlife land.
Specifications
1 . Dry Cropland
a. A cropping sequence will be applied that will provide adequate
residue for protection from wind and water erosion.
b. Crop residues will be managed in such a way that soil loss is
held to an acceptable amount.
c. The Universal Soil-Loss Equation and Wind Erosion Formula will
be used to determine adequacy of the cropping system.
2. Irrigated Cropland
a. Soil Condition Rating Indices for Irrigated Crops , Agronomy
Technical Note #52 dated March 1977, will be used to determine the
adequacy of the cropping sequence and soil fertility management.
Cmse b. Crop• residues will be managed in accordance with Crop Residue

D. On systems where tillage operations are permitted:
1. Subsurface tillage equipment should be used to keep the residue on
the soil surface.
2. On soils that tend to crust, or with some slope to them, a chisel
type implement may need to be used after harvest to increase water
infiltration and reduce soil loss due to runoff.
3. Chemicals may be used to aid in reducing or eliminating tillage
operations. Use manufacturers labels or Colorado Weed Control
Handbook for specific rate recommendations. The following options
are recommended.
a. Fall sweep (4 inches deep) plus Atrazine. Fall sweep
immediately (within two weeks) after wheat harvest to kill
existing vegetation. Atrazine applied immediately following
fall sweep will kill volunteer wheat and weeds until the next
summer. Limit summer tillage operations prior to planting.
b. Apply a combination of non-selective contact or non-residual
herbicides (such as Paraquat or Roundup) plus Atrazine to kill
existing weeds and for long-term weed control. Limit summer
tillage operations.

d. 2-4D Butyl Ester plus atrazine or a short residual triazine is
an economical alternative if approximately 90% of the fall weeds
are broadleaf. Limit summer tillage operations.
E. For no-till systems:
1. Conventional tillage operations will not be used to control volun-
teer crop growth or annual forbs and grasses. On soils with a heavy
clay or silty surface that tend to seal, a light crust breaking may
be needed using sweeps or a chisel using straight shanks.
a. Wheat-fallow (chemical only) - Use of chemicals to eliminate
tillage operations. The following is required:
(1) Contact herbicides, such as Paraquat or Roundup, plus
atrazine or residual and tank mixes such as atrazine-Bladex
and atrazine-Igran shall be applied immediately following
harvest to kill existing weeds and give long-term weed
control.
(2) A short residual herbicide may be used for spring applica-
tion if necessary to control weeds to substitute for
tillage operations normally used.
(3) A slot or no-till planter or grain drill shall be used that
will disturb not more than 25% of the soil surface.
b. Corn, sorghum, and small grains (chemical only) . Use of chemi-
cals to eliminate tillage operations in irrigated cropland or
annual cropping systems. The following is required:
(1) A contact herbicide plus Bladex, Igran or other short
residual (45-60 days) may be used for spring application if
needed to control weeds to eliminate early spring and early
summer tillage.
(2) A slot or no-till planter or adequate grain drill shall be
used that will disturb not more than 25% of the soil
surface.
(3) Atrazine may be used in a wheat-sorghum-fallow or a wheat-
corn-fallow sequence.
F. Farmers must be made aware of the hazards involved in using residual
herbicides.

1 . Caution must be exercised in use of atrazine on soils with a pd of
7.5 or higher.
2 . Caution should be taken when applying long residual herbicides
annually so no overlap or carry-over effect of chemical occurs.
3 . A minimum of 20 gallons of water, preferably 30, will be needed to
get adequate coverage of chemical.
4 . For more uniform application, Large volume sprayers with wide stable
boom coverage are preferred over small units with narrow coverage.
The wider swath should result in fewer overlaps or skips . Dust
should be held to a minimum as it deactivates some herbicides.
Nozzle spacing should not be greater than 40 inches for uniform
distribution.
C. Specific chemical recommendations shall be in accordance with container
labels and/or Colorado Weed Control Handbook.

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.

1. Drilled sorghums on row 75011
spacing of 20" or less
2. Forage sorghum on 1000#
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.

III. Irrigated Crops
A. The pounds of residue required on the soil surface during the
critical erosion period are as follows.
Wind Erodibility Drilled Crops
Groups 20" rows or less Row Crops
1 & 2 1500 2500
3 & 4 1000 1750
5, 6 & 7 750 1000
B. Critical Erosion Periods (Modified for Necessary tillage)
1. W.E.G. 's 1&2 Sprinkler Irrigated — Maintain the required amounts
of residue until the planted crop has enough growth to protect
the soil.
2. Gravity Irrigated Row Crops — Maintain the required amounts of
residue as long as feasible after harvest. The cropping system
and method of irrigation are to be considered. If fall plowing
destroys the residue, the field will be left rough and cloddy
until spring seedbed preparation, (about March 1st as a
minimum).
