Project Description

    This study presents an opportunity to determine if there has been a significant change in soil quality and/or yield trends in the 6 years since the study was converted to zero tillage. We have records of yields and N & P content of grain which will allow us to determine how these are trending with the change to zero tillage and to relate those changes in soil quality.
