"It's too wet to plowl" I am
sure that almost everyone has
heard this old expression be-
fore. If the soil is wet and you
are plowing there is a chance
your tractor may get stuck.
But there is also another rea-
son for staying out of the field
after a rain. This reason is
much more costly than getting
stuck. Should the tractor be-
come stuck someone can be
found to pull it out of the mud.
However plowing in a field
where tho moisture level is too
high can destroy the soil
structure.
In order to understand why
destruction of soil structure
?an be costly wo need to know
something about it. What soil
structure means and what pur-
pose it serves in crop produc
tion.
A soil is made up of parti
cies tneso panicles vary in
shape and size. Many soils do
not have a good structure to
begin with and this condition
can become even more severe
if these soils are plowed wet
The Houston Black and Heiden
soils around Bartlett have good
structure which means the soil
is made up of large angular
shaped soil particles. Soil par-
ticles shaped in this manner al-
low the air and moisture to
pass through the soil to the
plant roots. Plants must have
both air and water for proper
growth. Needless to say. a
plant not receiving the proper
elements for growth will result
in low yielding plants which
quickly lowers your income and
that costs you money.
Soil structure can be easily
destroyed by plowing a soil
where moisture content is too
high. When a soil is plowed
wet vne ciay particles are
squeezed together into a gum
rny mass; even after drying
the soil remains hard middled
and cloddy with no room for
air or moisture.
Suppose some of tho fields
on your place have been plow-
ed too wet and they show cha-
racteristics similar to ones des-
cribed what can be done to
correct this problem? Once a
"oil has been broken down it
is difficult to restore to its na-
tural state. The best method
of restoring structure to the
soil is by addition of organic
matter. This can be done in
several ways. The addition of
livestock manure or hav to the
field but both of these methods
can be expensive. Probably the
most effective as well as eco
nomical method is to leave crop
residue on the land. Soil struc
ture can be restored through
a sound crop residue and soil
management program. A pro-
gram which will pay off in the
form of increased crop yields
as well as improving the work-
ability of tho soil.
'So next time "it is to wet to
plow" stay out of the field and
go by the Soil Conservation
Service office in Bartlett and
see Roy Rogers or one of his
staff about a crop residue pro-
gram to improve or maintain
kuuu aoii structure on your
farm.
PIPELINES SOLVE AN
OLD PROBLEM
Durable low cost plastic
pipe has proved to be a life
saver to many cattle raisers in
Central Texas. Cattlmen have
always realized that plenty of
clean drinking water in the
right locations was essential to
maximum beef production. The
trend toward high intensity
grazing programs using hybrid
grasses and hybrid sorghums
has reduced the size of grazing
units or pastures but has in
creased grazing management
problems. The shifting of live-
stock from pasture to pasture
on a rotation grazing program
does produce the most beef
per acre but in this type pro-
gram water in each grazing
unit is a necessity. Farm ponds
do not always solve the prob-
lem. Farm ponds answer the need
for livestock water in largo
pastures where soils and sites
are favorable. They do provide
clean cheap water but often
can t be located in the best
spots for grazing management
purposes. Soils in many parts
of Central Texas limit the use
of farm ponds. Shallow depths
to rock soils bottoming on gra-
vel and freely permeable soils
are very common in this area.
This leaves many landowners
without a chance of building
a pond which can be depended
upon to hold water.
Many local livestock raisers
find that the most dependable
and economical water system
is one which provides a single
adequate water supply with
pipelines laid to troughs set at
the desired locations. The
source of water may be a large
pond a privately owned well
or one of the many cooperative
water systems throughout the
area. Plastic or steel nine may
be used equally well in most
locations. Plastic pipe how
ever can be laid economically
and rapidly by inexperienced
labor.
For landowners without
suitable soils or sites for farm
ponds livestock water pipelines
are the only hope for putting
water where it is needed.
Those cattle raisers blessed
with good soils for ponds
might still do well to consider
future expansion of water fa-

cilities using pipelines and
troughs.
Most Central Texas counties
have cost sharing practices
through the Agricultural Con-
servation Program for live-
stock water pipelines. You may
want to checjj with your local
Soil Conservation Service per-
sonnel about the ways in which
you can use a pipeline for bet-
ter grazing management.
