Soil Conservation Districts Mobilize for Wartime Production

South Dakota soil and moisture districts have mobilized thousands of workers for wartime farming. About 2,300 farmers operate under full conservation plans, with many more receiving technical help. Districts now cover six and a half million acres, about one sixth of the state’s farmland, reflecting strong public support and continued growth through district additions and educational programs.

Subsurface tillage boosts Dakota production drive

Subsurface tillage, soil moisture conservation method, gains adoption in central and western South Dakota. Farmers report higher yields up to 6 bushels per acre, reduced runoff, and fewer wind erosion issues, with cases showing 25 percent yield gains and better moisture retention after harvest. Community programs and extensions note broader adoption and ongoing refinement of technique.

Creested Wheatgrass Trials Suppress Creeping Jenny

Fifteen acres of crested wheatgrass on Nels Madsen’s Carpenter farm show promise in controlling creeping Jenny. Planted in 1937 38 at under 3 pounds per acre the rows 92 inches apart, the grass spreads and crowds out the weed. Other growers Everett Hazlett and David Peterson report similar success in Jackson County with strips seeded in 1917. The grass provides good pasture and seed, with fieldwork hindered by grasshoppers, suggesting grass as a weed control method inching toward broader adoption.
