Soil Stewardship
By John Brown
Soil Conservationist
In doing our part as stewards
of the soil and our other natural
resources we find ourselves at
a loss sometimes as to just what
course to travel in reaching our
objective. Let’s just take a few
minutes to see what is covered
in the overall picture.
First of all we need a soil
capability map of the farm. If
you were buying a new machine
you would want to know just
what it would do and the same
thing applies to our soil. This
map will give us the informa¬
tion as to the origin, root depth
penetration, parent material,
slope and erosion of each field.
With this before us we can read¬
ily see the need or possibility of
the area in question. The next
step in conserving what we have
is to work out a farm plan that
will use each acre to its best
advantage. The rolling and
steep lands should be put down
in pasture and permanent hay
crops if they are not too steep.
This fits very nicely into a graz
lng program for dairying or
beef cattle production. At
times it is nesessary for us to
cultivate some of these rolling
areas in which case we need to
sow grass sod waterways and
build terraces that carry the
water into these waterways in
order to prevent as much runoff
and erosion as possible.
Another phase of our farm life
that more and more people are
becoming interested in is the
wildlife. The whistle of a bob-
white, the quaking of wild
ducks on our ponds or the
barking of a pack of beagles on
a rabbit trail just
stirs something within us
is hard to describe. Our
and animals must have
and cover if they are to
so why not use some of
little nooks and corners to
bicolor lespedeza, muitiflora
nose, wild rice or annual
eza for the benefit of our fea¬
thered and furry friends.
Another important item that
we cannot overlook is our forest
areas. The land that is too steep
for pastures and our mountain
ridges can be made to grow the
species of trees that we will
need for building purposes,
pulpwood, veneer wood, etc. All
we need to do is to kill off the
undesirable trees and let the
others have a chance to grow.
This killing may be done by
poisoning or by frilling the un¬
wanted trees. Sounds like a big
job does it not? It takes time
but like all those things that
are worth having , you must
work for them.
Now here is a new angle that
you might not have thought of
before. Our road banks, yard
banks, church grounds, and
school yards all contributed silt
that washes down into our
streams clogging them until
there is not enough channel to
carry the water and this in turn

‘Am I a good Steward of the

start doing something about it
