Methods of Wheat Culture in Kansas
United States Department of Agriculture Bulletin 1004 reports on winter-wheat production in Kansas. At Fort Hays branch station results show sowing wheat after harvest with stubble or uncultivated ground yields higher than late plowing and near the performance of early plowing. Continuous wheat on same land persists with average county yields around 14 to 17 bushels per acre, while certain methods reach 20 plus bushels. The study highlights the value of timely cultivation, avoiding long delays between harvest and seeding to maximize yields.

How Gullies Can Be Reclaimed In Farm Drainage
Farmers should build self basing dams to check erosion and reclaim gullies. Stop erosion at the head by diverting water to a safe course, using brush dams and logs where flow is light, and plan the full reclamation before starting.
