and Water Conservation 44:320-323. Double rows of tall
wheatgrass (Agropyron elongatum) were planted as barriers 48 ft
apart near Culbertson, MT. The greatest soil water gain occurred
during the harvest to spring period, with a precipitation
storage efficiency ranging from 41-57 %. Annually cropped wheat
and spring wheat following fallow responded positively to
barrier protection. Yields were highest in the annual crop
rotation of wheat-barley-safflower, followed by the 3-yr
rotation with fallow. The traditional fallow-crop system had the
lowest yields. Net returns paralleled yield results, and in most
instances there was an economic benefit from the barrie
