this paper will maintain the capacities of this
system, and reduce downstream effects that
extend well beyond the borders of Missouri.
Additionally, in this important agricultural area
with shallow soils, maintaining the productive
capacity of the land while controlling sediment
yield is an important objective of the land
management system.
