A Nebraska farmer says conservation practices have protected the soil from extreme winds this planting season.
“I believe we would’ve had exactly what they had in the 30s with the wind and dirt storms.”
Randy Uhrmacher of Hastings tells Brownfield the winds gusted to more than 60 miles per hour for several days creating visibility issues and it removed topsoil. “We had some fields that ran together, some flatter fields and the wind just got going on those.
