The experiment consists of twelve rotations. The 27 plots per replicate were divided into three, nine-plot blocks separated by 10 m grass roadways to facilitate cultural and tillage operations. The study was replicated three times, each replicate separated from the other also by a 10 m grass roadway. The surrounding environment did not have any trees, shelter belts, or other obstacles. A fence line and road are adjacent to the east side of the plots.
Winds are predominately from the west.
