The Year Book of the Department of Agriculture emphasizes underdrainage to remove excess moisture in soils. Crops thrive when soils hold 30 to 60 percent of water capacity. too little air in saturated soils impairs root development and growth. Wheat can develop normally if air and moisture are balanced, as stagnant soil deprives roots of necessary air.
