Don’t Burn
That Straw
JOHN W. SMITH, JR.
District Conservationist
To most farmers wheat straw is an obstacle that
has to be removed before the soybeans can be planted.
The straw drags on the planters and cloggs up the
machine. Strike a match and you can sent it up in
smoke. Straw is crop residue which becomes
organic matter for the soil under natural conditions.
Most soils need additional organic matter. Organic
matter increases the holding capacity of the soil for
water and nutrients. It improves the tilth of the soil
by preventing packing and crusting of the soil.
Discing the straw once will usually leave plenty of
residue on the soil surface to protect the soil from
erosion. This will usually reduce the straw enough so
that most no-till planters will do the job of planting.
Wheat will usually produce 100 lbs. straw per
bushel of grain. Fields that produce 50 bushels of
wheat will yield 5000 lbs. straw. Fields that produce
25 bushels of wheat will produce 2500 lbs. straw. For
“No-Till” 1,000 lbs. of straw needs to remain on the
soil surface for protection from "erosion.
Soil moisture is usually critical at soybean
planting time. Discing the soil will dry the soil out.
Leaving the straw on the land will hold the moisture
in. Soybeans will germinate in 3 or 4 days if the
moisture is right. If it is too dry, soybeans will have to
wait for the next shower.

The climax of the evening was the
presentation by the New Bern High
