North Central Oklahoma
Here in north central Oklahoma I would say that half of the land has gone to no-till, and I would assume by the looks of crops that conventional till acres will lose percentage as years move on. I think no-till probably benefits us as much or more than most other parts of the country. I saw a increase in wheat yields the first two years just from the moisture we saved all summer by no tilling. My area is straight south of Wichita. If you go not very many miles west (county line) it is still mostly conventional. They have tougher soils and less rain fall. I still think they will slowly try more no-till in the future.

Always heard it took three to five rough years to start seeing benefits. We saw many of them our first year.
