Abstract
Sorghum fields planted to widely spaced rows (24-40-)have large areas of exposed soil. This soil is subject to wind and water erosion during the growing season and after harvest. The practice of grazing sorghum stalks after harvest decreases residue and further increases erosion hazards. Thickly planted crops in narrow rows (such as wheat) provide bette rerosion protection. In addition, the more complete ground cover provided by narrow rows reduces water loss by evaporation...
