Strip Cropping Helps
In Soil Conservation
Farmers in the Huntersville area
of the Soil Conservation Service
report that they are finding It
much easier to establish rotations
where strip-cropping is practiced,
according to John C. Shiver, assis
tant soil conservationist
Such crops as small grains, sor
ghums. legumes, and crosses ara
readily adaptable to h«« strip
readily adaptable to the strip
saticns with clean-cultivated crop*.
Strips can be used to establish tot
race lines, making it possible to
build tcraces at a more convenient
time
Width of the strips is dependent
upon the slope of the land and re
quirements of the individual far
mer. Shiver said. On gentle slopes
it is considered good practice to
lay off the strips 20 to 30 feet wide
and on sleep slopes 40 to 50 feet
wide.
