Wheel Track Planting Explained Promising Erosion Control
Harrisburg reports wheel track corn planting as a new technique in corn culture. Willian Effenning of the State Soil Conservation Commission says it reduces runoff by using rough loose soil between rows to absorb moisture and can cut tillage costs by about 49 percent. Penn State studies show about $5 per acre savings, and the method suits most Pennsylvania soils. Preemergence weed control at planting or soon after can delay cultivation by two weeks or more.

There were 508 000 hogs on Pennsylvania farms as of January 1, the largest in the Northeast. Swamp farmers throughout the state face shifts in vaccination practices.
