Conservation tillage gains momentum says SCS chief
Peter C Meyers chief of the USDA Soil Conservation Service and John Block commented that conservation tillage should reach full acceptance as a land protection practice. Meyers predicts up to 95 percent of US cropland could use conservation tillage by 2010 and cites erosion reductions and moisture retention as key benefits. He emphasizes collaboration to expand adoption and notes it complements other conservation practices.
