California friend urges graded roads with oiling as final step
The writer argues for graded and drained roads followed by oiling to improve Iowa’s dirt highways. Oiling is cheap, potentially 200 to 500 dollars per mile, and can cut weather-related travel issues. Even in New England, farmers oil a strip by homes to reduce dust. The sequence starts with grading and draining, then dragging, then oiling as long as asphalt oil stays under six cents a gallon.
