Some farmers in the Great Plains say recharging the soil profile and wind erosion are some of their top concerns.
Southwest Kansas grower Jim Sipes tells Brownfield “We’ve actually have had weather that has been worse than the Dust Bowl. If we didn’t have good and different cropping practices, then we would’ve seen a repeat of the Dust Bowl.”
He says many growers don’t have crop residue and have begun chiseling the ground.
