Wind damages double
in Great Plains
KANSAS CITY, Mo
Wind damaged almost twice
as much land m the Great
Plains from November 1979
through May 1980 as it did
during the same period a
year earlier, a U.S.
Department of Agriculture
official said today.
Noman A. Berg, chief of
the USDA’s Soil Con
servation Service, said
reports from the 10-state
area indicate wind damaged
5,134,163 acres for the seven
month season, up 80 percent
from 2,874,385 wind
damaged acres for the same
seven months in 1979
Berg said the major
factors contributing to wind
erosion this season were low
levels of protective residue,
excessive tillage, loose
topsoil caused by freezing
and thawing and large areas
left unseeded because of
drought
