I have mafic a pr« tty lair check
*n tin wind erosion < used m
.ir recent storm. There vat con*
irietabh' less soil damag* than
ust year. This is probably due to
everaI things. (1) The velocity
f the wind was le-s than la-1

,-as no tail plowing n the- val

ffeet on reducing v.ind damage
his year. There were some nota
>le exceptions. I have observed
few fields that lost < r.e quarter
o a full inch of top soil but they
cere the exceptions.
It won’t be long until land
leasing starts again. You had
letter start thinking of where to
cave those windbreaks for pro
ection. According to the A.C.P.
landbook this year, clearing can
lot be approved for payment if
t opens additional land to ero
sion or increases the erosion haz
nd on a field. That means you
nust figure on windbreak pro
ection. Better look over your
and and do some figuring now.
