I agree 100%, SB!!! I used to farm a lot of irrigated ground, but got out 10-12 years ago.
I then later picked up a little 80 acres of dryland to mess around with & play with my old tractors.
When I took it over, it had been one-wayed clean that summer - and we never got a rain to bring up the wheat I planted that fall...
A rotary hoe wouldn't come close to holding the ground when it would start blowing, and I worked my way up to Graham-Hoeme chisel plow, a lister rig on 40 inch centers, and a deep ripper as the winter & spring winds came and went...
By the next spring, I was just shoving 12 inches of flour-like powder around out there trying to keep it from blowing...
Since then, I've always tried to keep plenty of trash up on the surface and have kept it from blowing like that since - mainly with Noble sweeps and chemical like you said...
But it is a very helpless feeling when you are in that situation and can't do anything about it.
