Winning Conservationist Learns From Experience

Eugene Hart of Pomona explains terraces alone cannot stop erosion and seeds brome to stabilize 315 acres of pasture and cultivated land. He and his late wife moved to the farm in 1949 and built 45,000 feet of terraces with 6 acres of waterways, aided by government conservation services, while noting native grasses’ resilience and lower fertilizer needs.

Outdoor classrooms help wildlife habitat lessons spread

Kansas farmers have created wildlife friendly areas and discover lessons in ecology through outdoor classrooms. But two harsh winters and wet springs in recent years reduced quail pheasants and rabbits populations. To help wildlife, plant dense winter cover near feed, leave unharvested grain, manage grassland with rotations and burning, and plant native grasses along cropland edges. Contact local Soil Conservation Service or extension for guidance.

Parallel terraces offer farmability boost for contour fields

District Conservationist notes 50 year shift from classic contour terraces to parallel terraces. Parallel terraces save time, cut machinery hours, and may reduce production costs by up to 10 percent. Initial costs rise but modern equipment narrows the gap while improving soil conservation and terrace longevity.
