Soil Conservation Calendar Highlights Rural Water Care
The Gillespie County Soil Conservation District released a calendar to landowners stressing soil and water conservation. The piece notes benefits of leaving crop residue on the field, including less evaporation and better moisture, with farms reporting oat yields of 35-40 bushels per acre when residue is left, versus 12-15 when plowed under. Technicians aided local residents in terrace and dam layouts, and groups from Willow City and Stonewall discuss vegetation study and plant judging at Sonora.
