Wind, Wind Erosion, Sand Storms and Dunes
Description:
Photograph of a large field subject to severe wind erosion recently deep plowed. Note the large chucks of soil brought to the surface by deep plowing. This mechanical practice gives temporary resistance to wind erosion on this type of deep sandy soil (Soil Unit 12). Widespread use of this practice is not recommended by the Soil Conservation Service. Vegetative control measures that improve the physical structure of the soil should be given first consideration. OK-253-8.
