Fallowing And Soil Conservation, J E. Watson
Fallowing And Soil Conservation, J E. Watson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Soil Conservationists don't always disapprove of fallowing, says Soil Conservation Service adviser J. E. Watson.
They are prepared to compromise, and accept fallowing as a useful practice where it means better pasture establishment or more effective land reclamation.
Natural Paddocks Help Soil Conservation, G W. Spencer
Natural Paddocks Help Soil Conservation, G W. Spencer
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
ON most farms, particularly in the cereal and sheep districts, the paddocks as we know them are fenced off into neat squares or rectangles.
The original fencing was done in such a way that the paddock layout, as well as the fences, completely disregards the topography or natural features of the land. Often this has encouraged soil erosion.
In properly laid out paddocks there should be a very close relationship between the natural features of the farm, the fence plan, and soil conservation.
