Scranton | I think it depends.
Most springs we fight wet conditions, no matter what it does later in the summer. The tilled fields tend to be more healthy coming out of those conditions. By then, they are shading the ground and not losing much moisture anyway.
Several fields around here that had cover crops and notilled into it, but the covers sucked up too much moisture and the beans look short and spotty.
Theoretically, no till should conserve moisture. But we farm in the real world. Not by theory. | |
