Straw management shows benefits of plowing straw into soil
Midwestern experiments indicate applying straw directly to fields increases land productivity and reduces waste compared with burning. Farmers may gain improved soil health and yields as straw residue decomposes naturally.
Farm trials show wheat straw boosts corn yields years later
A four year average shows one ton of wheat straw plowed under raises corn by 6.2 bushels per acre annually while one ton of corn stover raises wheat by 1.5 bushels. Heavier applications reduce gains. two tons yield 3.3 bushels of corn or 0.4 of wheat. The experiment began in 1916 with mixed results in early years and improvements in 1917 to 1919. The T C Power Company of Helena offers grain and grass seed after harvest.
