Much farmland across the country lies tilled and uncovered for months of the year. Wind and water erosion are taking productive soils away. Prairie strips are linear areas that are placed on contour and planted with native species. Science-based trials have indicated 42% less runoff, 95% less soil export, and 80-90% less phosphorous and nitrogen export.

What do you think? Could this have an application in Yamhill County?
