Suspended soil particles and lent in the water affect growth, reproduction, and photosynthesis aquatic life, the study says, y particles cloud water and uce light penetration - to [-producing plants. Less reduces fish populations smaller insects upon which fedd. Excessive levels of suspended cles clog the gills of fish nd affect their breathing, id water makes it harder game fish to see prey, in- the population of carp, feed on the bottom. Suspended soil particles are carriers of herbicides and secticides. Nutrients, par- cularly nitrogen and rus, also are attached stimulate the growth of when they dissolve. Dense lgae growth reduces light vailable to rooted aquatic These plants provide irtant habitat for game fish. Algae also reduces oxygen Is, since plants "breathe" gen during the night rather carbon dioxide, the study lays. { A l t h o u g h K i r s c h n e r ledged Wonder Lake is shallow to be '̂ crystal ," sediment levels can be uced by proper farming ractices. The 62,000-acre tershed around the lake puts feet of soil per year into lake. Dave Brandt, district con- onist with the Soil Con- ition Service, said no-till or tillage farflfiflg* pfSKK are an excellent way to erosion. However, the study cites negative factors that be considered: # -New machinery may have tib be bought or existing Equipment modified. j -Poorly drained soils may Uevelop excessive compaction. } -The residue from previous crops, which is left on the in this method of far- may reduce soil tem- jeratures in early spring. This cause later planting times. -Initial attempts at im- ting conservation tillage es fail and crop yields Usually, this happens as t result of improper field election or because the farmer s nnfnm^inr with the special, mplementation procedures squired. Additional assistance can be ibtained from the SAS, fcHenry County Soil and Water Conservation District, McHenry bounty jFarm Bureau and Jniversity of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service. Brandt said the advantages of o-till far outweigh its rawbacks. If applied on an as- : eeded basis, increasing the , mount of herbicides and in- ecticides will not be necessary, le said. • Other benefits include: -Less trips are required, : educing equipment main- (nance, energy costs and labor, t allows farmers to use smaller i quipment and cover additional creage. -When soil erosion losses are : naintained at levels less than or equal to the T-value (tolerance value), the long-term produc­ tivity of the land is assured for the farmer. The T-value of soil is the amount of soil per year a given piece of land can lose to erosion and still rebuild itself. McHenry County values range from four to five tons per acre per year, Brandt said. Brandt added that crop residue increases soil moisture, while stopping the impact of raindrops!. He added that the stubble actually will decompose faster on the surface than if it is plowed under and mixed with the soil. Class slated or arthritics The study points out several .advantages to the county. They include: Reduced need for removing sediment from roadside ditches, streams and lakes; fewer tss dollars for the protection or restoration of the public's water supply; and reduction in airborne dust originating from agricultural land. "In my opinion flat fields they (farmers) can plow to their heart's content," Brandt said. Erosion is particularly dangerous on rolling farmland, even if it is not always noticeable, he said.
