Blue Grass (Eastern IA) | Post below about bringing more land into production got me thinking. Lets say someone had a 150 A HEL farm with 80 A in row crop and 70 A in permanent pasture in Iowa. If the farmer was to bring in heavy equipment to clear small brush, knock off the knobs, put in some tile, and build some basins, then no till into the sod to square up the field and gain 20 A would he be guilty of sod busting? Since the entire farm would be no till the soil loss should be under the allowable limit. Should he just do it and plead ignorance, or get the SWCD involved ? | |
