Mulch planter reduces soil and water loss in corn fields
Lee Gard, a soil and water researcher at Minnesota University, reports that corn planted with a mulch planter showed far lower soil loss and runoff than conventional methods on a 9 percent slope. Despite heavy rainfall totaling about 51 inches, mulch planted plots lost about 300 pounds of soil per acre versus nearly 18 inches runoff on conventional plots. Yields were similar at about 70 bushels per acre. The mulch planter, while effective, is not yet practical for large scale use due to imperfections.
