Abstract
Using farm level data developed in conjunction with the Lake Erie Conservation Tillage Demonstration Project, the authors show that farmers can manage reduced tillage systems to maintain yields and increase profits. While the specific results are not applicable to all areas, the findings do show that farmers are able to manage emerging tillage technologies effectively.
