Field Preparation for Fall Seeding

Photograph of tractor plowing the land for fall seeding in Beaver County. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Land plowed in preparation for fall seeding. This operation of pulling a section harrow over land further reduces the size of clods, increasing the wind erosion hazard. Too much tillage is a problem that must be overcome in combating wind erosion. Ted Lehman, WUC Beaver City, says this is a "powder ker [sic] for blowing."
