Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In order to keep Iowa soils from becoming less fertile and from being washed away, it is necessary that every farmer develop and carry out a program of soil and moisture conservation for his farm. This program need not be complicated. Any Iowa farmer can, by following practical methods, keep his soil fertile and in place. Every acre of a farm should be planned to produce its maximum income in whatever crop it is adapted to produce. Soils on level areas can be kept fertile by proper crop rotation and necessary soil treatments. Rolling land should be handled the same way except that as it becomes steeper other practices must be adopted to keep the soil from washing away. Some lands must remain in pasture, while those less fertile areas which are becoming eroded should be planted by trees. Many rolling Iowa lands farmed to intertilled crops are losing topsoil in spite of the use of long rotations having the minimum amount of intertilled crops. Other practices, such as contour tillage, strip cropping and terracing, are being recognized by Iowa farmers as necessary and practical These practices alone will not solve the problem of soil and water loss. By combining all of the necessary principles and practice of soil and moisture conservation as the apply to each individual farm, Iowa land can be kept productive." -- p. 323

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed for individuals who want to apply conservation practices either without or with minimal technical assistance. These individuals include students who want to practice soil/water conservation with some instructor guidance and others who want to apply the principles in their own way, to their own conditions, and within their own capability to apply them. To meet these needs, the book includes a discussion and description of soil/water conservation methods for the small operator, at the same time recognizing changes brought about through improved technology and by larger and more complex farm equipment. It is intended to be useful for the small acreage owner and for urban dwellers who have a soil/water conservation problem. Practices discussed can also help school officials select a school site and develop a conservation plan on the area-a plan that can be used to teach wise use of soil/water and related resources, and to serve as an outdoor classroom. The book is divided into 20 chapters and includes an appendix summarizing approved soil conservation practices (related to each chapter), an index, and glossary. Among the topics presented are conservation tillage, contour farming, strip crop farming, preventing and healing gullies, and controlling sandblows. (JN)
