Abstract: Physical properties were generally similar for all sites except that soils at previously wind eroded sites had a slightly higher proportion of coarse sand and a lower proportion of find sand, silt and clay. Previously eroded sites appeared to have higher subsoil moisture at the end of summer, presumably due to the lack of plant growth. Crop yields were measured in the following year at two sites with adjacent previously eroded and non-eroded areas. Yields were higher on the previously eroded area at one s
