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.
