Wind erosion contracts cover 8399 acres in Cheyenne County
Cheyenne County ASC in Sidney reports 8399 acres under emergency wind erosion tillage contracts. A $25,000 emergency fund, diverted from the county soil conservation budget, has 8399 spent with state and federal search for replacement funds. Wind patterns in March and April will influence the county wheat crop prospects and erosion risk. Don Rapp notes signups surge after gusts, with 15,000 to 18,000 acres already roughened to curb erosion. The worst damage lies north of Potter where hail last spring damaged winter stubble potential.
