Gary Scott County Work Unit Conservationist I have noticed that several farmers are in the process of clearing hill land. Land clearing can be good and it can be dangerous if the farmer is not aware of the type soil and the slope of the land. After the top soil is washed down our streams and rivers, it takes hundreds of years for nature to form more top soil.

A farmer should think twice before clearing steep slopes. The Soil Conservation Service will be glad to assist you in your selection of areas to be cleared. By the use of a conservation soil map of your property, it can be determined which areas can be cleared and which areas should be left to Lackey Memorial Hospital Patients Visiting Hours: 10 to 1 p.m. 2 to 4 p.m.; 6 to 8 p.m. (No children under 12) Van Smith, Rt.

trees. I know that the price of timber and pulpwood has a lot to do with some of the clearing that has been done. Some areas that were cleared last year for pasture is now too gullied up. When an excessive slope is cleared, it is out of production from now on and causes problems in our streams and ponds. Farmers clear land for several reasons.

They cannot buy or rent additional land to add to their tilled areas. They want to enlarge, consolidate, or reshape fields so as to make more efficient use of tractor drawn equipment. One should always keep conservation first when considering clearing land. If you are considering clearing land, come by or call the Scott County Soil Conservation District and we will be happy to assist you.
