Soils conservation gains noted in Roblin district program
AG REP reports substantial progress in the Roblin district since 1953 with the soils clubs. Deep tillage cultivators and one way discs improved soil structure and reduced stubble burning while forage grasses and legume mixes aided erosion control and yields. Director Jack Parker praised the district’s awareness of erosion and the staff noted limited burning and strong farmer adoption of straw handling and fertilizer strategies. A new late fall weed dog mustard is spreading, requiring 9 to 12 oz of 2 4 D ester post harvest spray for control.
