Crop Residue Management
Photograph of burning stubble after the harvest of wheat. This stubble is being burned to make working the land easier. This area produced only 15 bushels of wheat per acre in 1958. This reduced yeild is due to land condition which is poor because of the practice of burning stubble. Stubble properly managed will improve the condition of the land and the amount of production.

Bees
Photograph of Claude Webb, and K.C. Bennett, SCS Representative, proudly display a few bees from the 70 bee hives on the Webb farm. Bees are a most important factor in the pollination of soil conservation legumes. This is a very economical way, according to K.C. Bennet, to get more and better returns from legumes in a planned soil and moisture program. Bees feed on vetch, sweet clover, peach and other blossoms on the Webb farm. Webb sold around $500.00 worth of honey last year.
