John C. Kendig of Conestoga Township Lancaster County sees heavy rains wash topsoil from hills, causing erosion and lost yields. He discovers that strips and erosion-control practices can save soil and protect his crops.
On 117 acres Kendig divides 90 into contour strips and 22 into permanent sod pasture, with the rest for homestead and pond. The dairy, with 32 Guernsey cows, hogs, and 400 layers, uses a two year legume hay crop then corn and small grain rotation. Barley increasingly replaces the small grain as sorghum soybean silage approaches.
