Subject: estimating soil cover using photos

For those with interest in such things: I just ran across this Web page on estimating percent residue cover in fields. The page is linked to reference photos for different percentages of cover for 4 crop residues, maize, wheat, grain sorghum and soybean.

The page is published by the U of Nebraska-Lincoln, and i first linked to it through Purdue University's Core 4 Web site which is filled with information on conservation tillage. That link is next:
