Fall Plowing Increases By Biologist SCS Opinion
Biologist Robert J. Higgins notes more fall plowing across Kansas due to harvest timing and field work. He argues fall plowing wastes moisture, as snow melts off bare soil, causing erosion and moisture loss, while crop residues protect soil, reduce erosion, and support wildlife including birds deer hawks owls and rabbits.
