Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land Use Experience in Southern Great Plains Organic fertility and physical structure must both be renewed at appropriate intervals In class IV lands to compensate for the naturally rapid rate of deterioration these soils 'undergo when put in cultivation. Otherwise they will quickly become class VI or even class VII lands. The only means now known for effectively renewing productivity to maintain such lands at a satisfactory level is the use of soil -building crops with rest periods. It is highly important to cease cultivation before the soil structure breaks down to a stage beyond control, so that the sod cover can be regained while the soil is still stable and moisture conditions are favorable.
