Soil Conservation And Renovation Studied By Vet's Training Class
Veterans in the Monticello on farm training class studied soil conservation and pasture renovation at the Trumm farm in Cascade. They observed birdsfoot trefoil sowing with oats and three grazing periods, contour strip cropping, and a dense trefoil stand that boosts livestock feed. The group also visited John Lane's field of trefoil and noted multi flora rose plantings as a permanent fence and wildlife shelter.
