Farming Equipment and Methods
Photograph of Norman Fischer, one of Louis Fischer’s three sons who operate a farm with him, shows how a sub-surface tillage implement operates, cutting weed roots, loosening soil and mixing residue into the surface. This type of equipment is coming into greater use as a means of controlling wind erosion in western Oklahoma blowing areas. This tillage also helps control water erosion which Norman says sometimes does more damage more quickly than wind erosion. OK-10, 721.

Farming Equipment and Methods
Photograph of Norman Fischer (left) shows Technician John Bailey the effectiveness of properly-managed residue in controlling wind erosion and conserving moisture. This wheat is in good condition though at the time the picture was taken, rain was needed for further growth. In June 1952, Fischer harvested 22 bushels of wheat per acre despite the drought. He left the stubble 8 to 12 inches tall. In the first week in July, he worked the field with a sub-surface plow with blades or shovels as set from 3.5 to 4 inches deep, leaving residue in the surface. He repeated the operation in mid-August to cut weeds and volunteer wheat. Drilled wheat in a deep furrow on September 20, 1952. OK-10, 725.
