Run-off Observation Plots On Alan Odden Farm Established
The project on the Alan Odden farm includes a run-off plot to study water loss on native pasture with a 3.2 percent slope. About 40 000 trees and shrubs were planted as field wind breaks and in gullies to cut erosion. Starling notes windbreaks reduce surface wind, gully plantings guard against spring floods, and downstream dam sides provide erosion protection and wildlife habitat.
