Bench leveling boosts yields and saves water in farm study
Jim Valliant, a water engineer, reports bench leveling at the Halfway research farm increases net income by about 20 dollars per acre per year on cotton and grain sorghum. The practice uses 30 to 40 percent less water for grain sorghum and about 30 percent less for cotton, reduces erosion, and improves soil organic matter and rainfall use.
