P. Agricultural car which is touring the state for the 12th consecutive year. Soil management was the subject discussed as farmers, agricultural students, and others visited the car. Fall seed bed preparation can be limited to two operations, plowing and harrowing. This will eliminate several seed bed operations in the spring, and allow for earlier planting to take advantage of winter moisture, Dr. Christensen said. To avoid losing moisture and compacting the soil, he also advised cultivating only enough to control weeds.
