Erosion problems are limited here but do occur from time to time. There are a few places prone to erosion that the switch to no-till wont really help. Next two pics were taken the same day this spring.
First one shows one of our fields that has been no-tilled for a couple of years and as you can see there is a ditch running down it. The second one is of a 40% slope that was chisel plowed and disked before seeding last fall. You can actually see standing water on the ground but no ditches.
