The Middle West Soil Improvement Committee urged farmers to use cover crops to protect the soil surface and prevent runoff, rotate legumes to improve structure, maintain soil fertility with nutrients, keep fields rough to trap snow and aid spring infiltration, and manage organic matter to boost beneficial soil organisms.
