| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2011 November 18 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Wet springs the past two years have caused an increase in crop tillage, according to a new study from the Illinois Department of Agriculture. The 2011 Illinois Soil Conservation Transect Survey reveals that use of no-till crop production systems has fallen five percentage points since 2009 to 24.2 percent of fields. The farmers who switched production systems have not abandoned soil conservation practices entirely, however. While the use of conventional tillage increased during this period, so did the use of mulch-till, a practice that leaves at least 30 percent of the residue from the previous crop on the ground and, much like no-till, protects soil from erosion. | | | | Date Created: | 11 18 2011 | | | | Agency ID: | 1294**11 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000039427 Original UID: 19994 FIRST WORD: IDOA | |
