Prairie strips valuable to conservation efforts, change of practice in low-yielding fields—During the South Central Agriculture Lab (SCAL) Field Day Aug. 8, Ron Seymour, a UNL Extension educator in Hastings, presented on prairie strips and their value to growing fields. As not all fields yield the same, with variation due to soil type, w**d pressure, and irrigation, among other reasons, it’s good to change the practices of the lower-yielding acres, instead of continuing to plant crops. A prairie strip is a conservation practice that protects soil and water while providing habitat for wildlife.
