Fall tillage aims to conserve soil moisture and reduce erosion
Manitoba farmers should conserve soil moisture this fall says Crawford Jenkins of Manitoba Agriculture. With moisture below normal across most of the province except the Swan River Valley and parts of the Interlake, fall tillage should prepare land to absorb precipitation and retain snow cover. Do not burn stubble. spread straw evenly and use a heavy duty cultivator to mix straw and loosen soil while leaving residual stubble to hold snow.
