Soybean School: To till or not to till
Tillage destroys soil structure, cuts organic matter, and decreases soil water infiltration. That means reducing tillage makes sense, right?
But the decision is not that simple, says Jodi DeJong-Hughes, University of Minnesota soil and tillage extension specialist.
In her presentation at the virtual Ontario Agricultural Conference, DeJong-Hughes notes that there's no hard and fast rule to determine the right amount of tillage — it really does depend on the farmer and the farm. And when it comes to soybeans, research from Minnesota and the Dakotas shows the oilseed crop will deliver top yields in no-till more often than not.
