Soils specialist promotes conservation tillage in Wisconsin
UW-Madison soils specialist Tommy Daniel argues conservation tillage complements rather than replaces proven practices. He cites comparable yields, reduced soil loss, and lower phosphorus runoff, but warns risks remain and management must be priority. He notes 200,000 acres in Wisconsin used yearly since 1976 and forecasts growth to 20 percent of land under moldboard replacement within a decade.
