No Till Farming Gains Steam Across Kansas Fields
Farmers in Kansas increasingly skip plowing after harvest to cut erosion and save costs. No till leaves crop residue to protect soil, with about 10 percent practicing it in 1997, up from 3.5 percent in 1992. Benefits include fuel save, time reduction, and flexibility under new farm laws. Experts caution crop rotation remains a needed element for weed and disease control.
