Diversion terrace proves value in drought year
Marvin Wilke near Albert praises a 1958 diversion terrace after it withstood the October flood, saying it saved his field and paid for itself. He also built a cross fence for better rangeland management and plans a livestock water supply. Cooperators will plow oat and wheat land, leaving surface straw to boost moisture retention and soil conditioning. Felix Beckmann near Fredericksburg plans to leave much straw on the surface after a strong oat crop, hoping to improve water absorption and moisture conservation.
