| dc.description.abstract | <p>In north central Iowa many farms within the soil area known as the Wisconsin drift<sup>1</sup>, include more or less of peat and so-called “alkali” soils. The peat areas may cover from one to several hundred acres. The alkali areas are much smaller, ranging from one-tenth of an acre to two acres, but they are of importance because they occur in fields otherwise satisfactorily productive.</p> <p>Without special treatment, neither peat nor alkali soils will support good crop growth, but with proper management they may be made very productive.</p> | |
