Soils 101 at Fairview High SchoolBy Anna Dragseth

Jamie Selting, District Conservationist at Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) located in Sidney, visited with students at Fairview High School to inform them about soil sciences, slake testing, available water capacity, and NRCS careers. Selting demonstrated how to identify particle size and differentiate between sand, clay and silt. He also demonstrated how to use moisture sensors for soil moisture management and how to test aggregate stability of a healthy soil.

Monitoring soil moisture is an essential part in several irrigation scheduling methods. It helps to determine when to irrigate and how much water to apply. Using too little water re-sults in reduced yields and stressed plants. Applying too much water causes runoff and deep percolation which can result in nutrient loss.

Selting also talked about “feel and appearance method” which is another method used in irrigation water management. This method varies with different textures and moisture content. You can use this approach by squeezing a sample of soil into a

color of the soil sample. These characteristics will determine a rough estimate of the available percentage of moisture content in the soil.

Explaining aggregate stability of a healthy soil and talking about the slake test.

Jamie Selting demonstrates moisture sensors for soil moisture

management.

Slake tests measure the stability of soil when put in water. Selting demonstrated this byputting different samples of soils in mason jars full of water and observing how fast it takes the sample of soil to break apart. Soil stability serves as a qualitative indicator of soil components,

Selting also talked about excessive tillage, tilling when soil is wet, and the affects it has on the soil structure. The structure units in the soils break down and cause soil to seal over. This reduces water and air movement into the soil, increases water runoff, bacteria, Actinomyces, fungi, and increases surface ponding of water. Therefore decomposition slows down, and the amount of released organic nutrients reduces.

Available water capacity is the amount of water that the soil can store for plants. Manyproperties can affect water capacity such as rock fragments, organic matter, bulk density, osmotic pressure, and texture of the soil. Available water capacity is used for depth of rooting. The root zone depth is how deep in the soil commodity crop roots can effectively extract waterand nutrients. These topics are some of many that conservationists encounter throughout their career.

The NRCS offers Pathways Programs which is designed to offer Federal Internships to High School and Postgraduate students nationwide. It helps students explore federal careers while still in school. The program provides essential training, career development, and hands on learning opportunities for individuals who are at the beginning of their Federal service. Stu-dents get to work side by side with experienced NRCS employees and conservation partners such as the Soil and Water Conservation District employees. If interested in the PathwaysInternship Program more information is available online and you can also call the local NRCS in Sidney at (406) 433-2103.

The old idiom of “too much of a good thing” rings especially true for salt. From kitchen tables to water tables, it is present nearly everywhere you look. Human

as doctors have told us for years, it can be harmful in high concentrations. Jane Holzer, Director of the Montana Salinity Control Association, recently re-

turned from an annual meeting which addresses soil salinity in Eastern Montana. “I was letting them know, or remind them, what our program is,” Holzer said. “We work with individual producers and on a watershed basis. We will do an initial review and look at a site. We do that for free. Then, we can give the individual some idea

obvious, but sometimes we do what is called a shallow groundwater investigation.”The special investigation can be a combination of historical research and scien-

decades, or if it is a relatively new issue. “For the most part, there are a few naturalsaline areas in Montana,” Holzer said, “but most are recently developed since the1940s.”

Holzer explains soil salinity can occur slowly and over long periods of time. The tell-tale white crust will eventually appear, but it is simply a visual indication of a

To begin reclaiming the salt laden areas, the Montana Salinity Control As-sociation (MSCA) helps landowners by giving them a clear outline of what will work for their situation. “We try to get the history of the cropping system and from that we do a reclamation plan,” Holzer said. “We give them a report on the saline and water

This initial evaluation is free to anyone in need of assistance, but there is a fee for a full groundwater investigation if the causes are unclear. Holzer notes there is funding available to help shoulder much of that extra cost if it becomes necessary.

Oil Spills, Soils and HealthThe surprising connection between oil spills and mental health.

By Alexa Althoff

Oil spills are easy to see, but psycholog-ical wounds are completely invisible. Land-owners across the Bakken are being affected by brine spills, oil spills, and pipeline projects in ways we are just beginning to understand.

Dr. Tom DeSutter, Associate Professor of Soil Science at North Dakota State Uni-versity, has been researching soil issues associated with the oil and gas industry. Typically, those studies focus solely on the

with land owners and the industry to come up with new research to improve or speed up soil reclamation,” DeSutter said.

One of the most prevalent and observ-able issues DeSutter works with is reclaiming soil in areas where underground pipelines have been installed. During the pipeline in-stillation, a trough is dug and the topsoil and subsoil are separated. However, the heavy equipment and work crews will generally drive along one side and compact the soil.

how to alleviate the compaction with plants and their roots or a more aggressive deep

soil and sub soil, then that will also be a long term lower-producing area. The pipeline installers know this, and I feel they do the

issues when you disturb the soil.” Like pipeline areas, oil spills and brine

spills also require their own special treat-ment which is being continually researched

than sea water.”Over time, and with care, these scars in the land can eventually dissipate. How-

ever, DeSutter is noticing a different kind of disturbance. This is one of the mental environment rather than the agricultural one.

As land often does, it incurs more than just a monetary value. “I did two talks last year on soil and mental health,”DeSutter said. “One case study I did was talking about a spill and the landowners.”

During this lecture, DeSutter covered a case study in which a farm had been owned by a North Dakota family for multiple generations. The deed had been signed by William Taft, and the entire family had a strong connection to their land. However, an spill had happened and the family entered what DeSutter describes as “a new normal”.

Suddenly, dozens of new people were thrust into their daily lives. From Green Peace to the United States government, they were no longer the only ones dealing with the issue. While many hands make light work, the spill cleanup process can be

While there still remains a stigma attached to seeking help with the mental

solutions. “I spend a lot of time thinking about how we can help empower the landowner to ask their question so they have a stronger understanding of what is hap-pening on their land,” DeSutter said.
