Test Flood Damaged
Fields
Farmers who had fields flooded
as the result of Tropical Storm
Agnes should have a complete
soil test taken to determine
whether there is damage in the
soil structure, Dr. W. Wayne
Hinish, Extension agronomist at
The Pennsylvania State
University, emphasizes. If the
topsoil was eroded but a
workable subsoil exists, an ap
plication of the needed elements
can bring the soil back to a
productive capacity in most
cases.
