Good Crop Rotations Help Iowa Soils And Yields
Farmers in northeast Iowa must rotate crops to curb soil loss and raise profits. The piece argues for one corn year, one oat or hay year, and two years of meadow with alfalfa and brome grass to build organic matter and reduce erosion on sloped land. It notes organic matter content limits yields, and stresses tailoring rotations to soil type and slope. It also mentions discussions of Iowa 4-H meetings, with a 4-H short course on June 28–30 and the 19th annual convention July 7–9.
