Remember a few short yrs ago when MN got TX soil? #SoilErosion is a real issue. Delay fall #tillage, keep soil covered as long as possible. Tilling now leaves soil unprotected for 6-7 months before the crop canopies. We have some of the best #soil in the world-don't lose it.

It's time to cue up "Dust in the Wind"🎵 Strong winds lofted dust into the air over New Mexico and Texas yesterday. The longest arrow in this #GOESEast loop points to White Sands National Monument, which was one of the dust sources. More imagery: go.usa.gov/xmgwu
