Father Son Team Named Soil Conservationists This Week
Arvin and Verlin Livingston operate a wheat and livestock farm ten miles west of Sidney. They work with the Cheyenne County Soil Conservation District to make a full conservation plan using stubble mulch tillage and residue management. They create grass strips along field borders to curb weed seeds and grasshoppers and to provide hay. Pasture fields are adjusted by moving fences and using native grass for turn rows. Crested wheat grass is used to stabilize fields and provide spring and fall grazing along with continued wheat or crop aftermath. Deferred grazing is practiced, starting around April 1 every third year on each of three large pastures.
