Terracing Proves Superior to Contouring in Muscatine Soil Loss
Upland cites a May 15 storm study near Muscatine showing soil loss of 88 tons per acre on a contour planted field versus 128 tons on harrowed slope land. Terraced fields reduced erosion dramatically, with estimates under the 5 ton per acre yearly goal, while contoured fields suffered major gullying and sheet erosion without cover.

Dairy Foods in Your Summer Diet
Iowa State University extension nutritionist Phyllis Olson notes dairy keeps summer menus refreshing and easy. Start with ice cream as a quick dessert, pair with fruit or sauces, or make crusted ice cream desserts. Milk toppings and evaporated milk offer flexible, low effort options, while nonfat dry milk enables white sauces and whipped toppings.
