Method of Saving Moisture From Dryland Farmers
Farmers in dry regions emphasize deep plowing for mellow soil that holds moisture, followed by firm packing and timely harrowing to create a surface mulch. Rolling after plowing aids moisture retention, while smoothing and rebarrowing after rains preserve a moist seedbed. Regular harrowing in spring also builds mulch and reduces weeds.
Qualities of Honey Locust as a Farm Tree
