All tillage operations will be performed with sub- surface tillage implements such as; blades, sweeps, and rod-weedees to maintain maximum crop residues on the soil surface. 750# equivalent flat small grain residue must remain on the soil surface after planting the next crop. Herbicides may be used to reduce the number of tillage operations required for weed control. 1 320 Ac. 84 WIND STRIPCROPPING: Wind Strips of 135' maximum width will be established perpendicular to normal wind direction. Strips will run northeast to southwest across field. Strips of winter wheat and fallow will alternate across the field. Strips will be established by planting a feed crop of sorghum or millet in alternating strips, then the alternating strips will be planted to winter wheat in the fall. COOPERATOR Vern E.
