Subject: RE: Tillage Question for Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas Farmers



I Agree with COdrylander, some years you have know residue left (ie. poor crop, high winds blew it away) In this case you have no choice but to till it or it will blow for months. Also in a dry year the ground can get as hard as concrete in certain soils. I have seen several high dollar no-till drills just lay wheat on top of the ground. At least with tillage you have the chance that you might get some seed into the ground.

Many other reasons but that is the two that come to mind.
