By Cliff Marcus

A conservation crop rotation !
system is a very important phase
of farming. By crop rotations we
mean the growing of different
crops Ln recurrent succession on
the same piece of ground. The
most desirable crop rotations in
clude grasses and legumes. They
protect the soil from water ero
sion, slow down runoff, keep
valuable top soil from blowing,
aid in absorption by adding valu
able organic matter and improv
ing the soil condition. Spread of
diseases to crops is greatly cut
down by use of alternating crops.
A, good crop rotation plan will
include the use of animal manur
es and crop residues. The lowly
manure pile is a big asset to a
farmer when used properly. It
should be used to its best and
fullest advantage.
Your land will stand only so
much abuse from continuous
cropping. It is, therefore, essen
tial that soil improving crops be
used to help keep up soil fertility,
keep land productive, prevent
spread of disease, and adding of
the valuable organic matter to
make land productive for years
to come.
For assistance in developing
a systematic crop rotation plan
for your farm contact the local
Soil Conservation Service office
who will be glad to assist you in
working out a crop rotation plan
to fit your farm.
