Trash Cover Prevents Summerfallow Drift
R D Dryden of the Experimental Farm at Brandon Manitoba explains that to prevent soil drifting, a trash cover built from crop residue is needed unless a adequate tree shelterbelt exists. The cover should stay October to June with tillage start after harvest using a heavy duty cultivator. May or early June weed control with sweep shovels reduces trash cover, so tillage should be minimal and not in late August or September. If late tillage is needed, harvest grain can be used as pasture or hay. If seed cover is impossible, seed area predisposed to drift or scatter straw and anchor with disking.
