The “Dust
Bowl” of the 1930s is a part of American farming folklore, when we first
realized we were squandering an irreplaceable resource of fertility.
Millions of tons of topsoil flow down the continental river systems as a result
of an emphasis on row crop yield maximization over crop and animal yield
optimization and integration of grassland pastures within farming zones.
You can do your part to preserve soil, increase its fertility, and preserve affordable future yield capacity by rotating row crops with hay and pasture crops, allowing your animals to access your fields, and managing residues to the benefit of water and nutrient utilization.
If you need help with these concepts, give us a call.
