Subsoil will be held back <br />to make up this deficit if there is a deflGt. I must remind myself that the separation of topsoil <br />and subsoll will not be exact. the areas that approach the sloped area azound the flat areas, <br />and contain no significant amount of topsofl, w1ll be difficult sepazate. <br />Seeding stockplle with oats in the fall. Emergence wlll depend on moisture received <br />during fall and winter. Any small grain can be used.. A combination oC seeds will not increase <br />emergence. A happy medium must be considered when applying seed. Too small a seed reduces <br />the strength of the germ that supplies food to new plant until this plant can establish enough <br />of a mot system to survive. 'IU replant each season does not alter the facts mentioned above. If <br />the seed doesn't germinate, it will be there when moisture does come in sufficient amounts. As <br />for erosion after a plan[ is established the roots remain attached to the soli even after the plant <br />has d1ed.The above ground material has always been used in dryland fanning to protect from <br />blowing. Turn it down with a plow, disc, etc., will encourage all types of erosion. Minimum <br />tillage I befleve is the term used. <br />The method referred to in fence replacement merely means that, rather than have a <br />written agreement spelling out each step each takes to replace that fence, will Collow the <br />existing precedent established in this azea. <br />To address the numbers for reclamation tasks that are needed, cannot be accurate. 'Ihe <br />change in cost of fuel alone has been tremendous in the last yeaz. Fluctuation of costs in <br />construction have always played a big role in banla~uptcies when contracting is done. 1 know <br />what the cost is, but do not know when the work wW take place. Too many variables. If you <br />merely want a guess from me, It will be on the conservative side. <br />
