Land fertility crisis triggers Oklahoma soil studies
Southeastern Soil Improvement Station researchers report farmers in southeastern Oklahoma face degraded land with 43 percent loss of organic matter and 38 percent loss of nitrogen in the Southern Ozark area. Most soils are too acidic or deficient in phosphorus, prompting recommendations for forage and soil improving plants across numerous counties. A circular with details is available from the Department of Agriculture, Oklahoma A&M. Also, about 700,000 Silver Oklahar New Hampshire broilers will be produced this year, with the breed's eggs and cockerels released by the station. Goodyear sponsors named eight state soil conservation district judges, and Oklahoma City will host the announcement of eight state winners on October 9.
