Open in new window Costs and Fuel Use for Alternative Tillage Systems

Gary Schnitkey and Dale Lattz ( April, 2006 )

Summary

Costs are examined for two systems (no-till and strip-till) that have little tillage and two systems (typical-till and deep-till) that rely on tillage. The two "low" tillage systems have about $9.50 per acre less costs and between 1 and 2 gallons less fuel use than the two "tillage" systems.
