Abstract
Experience of a Kentucky farmer indicates many advantages for this system, notably increased grain yields, lower equipment investment and farm production costs, more intensive land use through removal of soil conservation limitations and reduction of weather risks. These practical conclusions are substantiated by research at Universities and State Experiment Stations. Nearly five million acres of crops, mostly grains, are now produced in the USA by ‘no-tillage’.Keywords
