A grassed waterway is an excellent option to reduce soil erosion. This grassed waterway is south of Colby, KS.
Terrace tops are not usually the place to find high yields in your crop land. By grassing the terrace tops, you provide wildlife habitat and reduce soil erosion in areas that may not have good residue.
This is a field border southwest of Colby, KS. Ranging from 30' to 120' in width, the border provides excellent wildlife habitat.
Prescribed burning is nature's way of reducing litter in native grass, as well as improving the warm season grass stand.
The District sells bareroot trees and seedling eastern red cedars during the spring of each year. If you are interested in purchasing trees, contact the District office.
