This proposal includes two aspects of research and promotion for soil health. 1. Applied tillage research trials at three locations that incorporate a side dress, cover crops treatment, and 2. Extension of the data at a large soil health field day in June, a Strip Till Expo in September, and a large December conference, along with Ag articles and videos created.Advantages to a reduction in tillage can include improved aggregation and water infiltration, reduced soil loss and increased organic matter, biological populations in the soil and aggressive tillage can potentially increase root diseases that are favored by warmer soils. Concern about yield reductions due to cool and wet soil conditions...
