No-till and conservation tillage affect soil temperature and moisture
Barron County SCS expert Gene Hausner and UW Madison researchers report each conservation tillage method alters soil temperature and moisture differently. No-till screens heat with more crop residue, cooling soils by 3 to 7 degrees before planting and by about 2 degrees after, influencing germination and erosion protection.

National Conservation Farmer Awards seeks farmer entrants
National and state level farming, conservation, and commodity groups are asked to nominate farmers for the National Conservation Farmer Awards Program. The top winner will be named late in 1983 after an announcement in December 1982 by Emmett Barker of the National Endowment for Soil and Water Conservation. The program honors farmers who derive substantial farm income and practice soil and water conservation and pollution abatement.
