Sweet Clover Fills Ditches on Kempf Farm in Leroy Township
The farmer John Kempf of Leroy township reports a seven year program using sweet clover to fill ditches on his land east of Audubon. Seed scattered in ditches and banks, annual regrowth, and careful land work have gradually filled ditches up to fifteen feet deep on one area while other sections filled six to six to fifteen feet over three to seven years. The method requires water retention by clover and yearly loosening of bank soil, with livestock kept off treated areas to protect growth.
