Conservation Crop Rotation
An adapted sequence of crops will be grown to provide organic residue to improve soil tifih, reduce
soil erosion,improve water use efficiency,and improve water quality.Crop sequence will include a
minimum of 50%HIGH RESIDUE CROPS such as grain corn,small grain, alfalfa,etc., rotated with
low residue crops such as beans, beets,silage corn,onions, etc. (refer to the list of high-low residue
crops, FORM GFO-FSA-01).Crops will be grown in a flexible rotation which will not exceed 8 years
and will be rotated to all fields specified. Fields idled for ACR or other set-aside programs will be
protected by residues from the previous crop,or be planted to a cover crop, or be treated as a low
residue crop in the rotation.

Residue Management,Seasonal
Crop residues are used to protect cultivated fields during the critical erosion period and to conserve
moisture,increase soil infiltration, reduce soil loss and improve soil fifth.CONVENTIONAL SPRING '
TILLAGE will be used after HIGH RESIDUE crops.A minimum of 3000 lbs/ac grain corn or
sweetcom;550 lbs/ac alfalfa; 900 lbs/ac small grain;or 1500 lbs/ac forage sorghum residue will
remain on the soil surface from NOV 1 UNTIL MAR 1.Tillage can be started before Mar 1,if the crop
is planted within 2 weeks after the start of tillage. FALL PLOWING may be used to ridge or roughen
the soil surface after LOW RESIDUE crops.

Surface Roughening
One or more clodforming tillage operations will be used after fall tillage or low residue crops to
reduce soil erosion by roughening the soil surface.The soil surface will be an irregular or uneven
surface of compact,coherent masses of soil, ranging in size from .25-10"diameter. Clods may be on
a flat or ridged surface such that numerous small depressions exist.A rough or ridged condition will
be maintained from DEC 1 tb MAR 1.An acceptable surface will have about 50%of the soil surface
covered by clods,and/or ridges on an 8-10"spacing with a 2-3"height; 12-16"spacing with a 3-4"
height; 18-24"spacing with a 4-5"height; or 2640"spacing with a 4-7"height.
