Soil structure drives seedbed quality and yields
Browning of the Soil Conservation Service and Iowa State notes at the Soil Conservation Society meeting that soil structure is the key to a productive seedbed and water conservation. He warns tillage cannot fix poor structure and wet conditions damage it, while grass and legume crops build structure. He urges expanding meadow and pasture areas to balance rotations and provide organic matter for higher yields.

Woman seeks to sell instrument to corn picker users
Crop residues protect soil, conserve water, and improve structure, says Browning. Do not burn oat and bean straw or cornstalks. Better rolling coulters and plow adjustments help with straw handling. spreaders and shredder attachments on corn pickers aid disposal. Three teachers report to sheriff that the woman claimed they recommended the instrument without permission.
