Economics of no-till crop production
1982
Swenson, A.L. | Johnson, R.G.
Extract: When proper management has been utilized, spring seeded small grain yields under no-till are similar to conventional tillage yields. Costs of no-till on continuous cropping are slightly higher than production with conventional tillage practices when reductions are made in the amount of machinery owned. The high herbicide expenditures of complete chemical fallow presently make it economically uncompetitive with mechanical fallow. Substantial cost and labor distribution advantages of raising winter wheat in untilled seedbeds make it an attractive alternative to conventional spring seedings. Seeding directly into stubble provides a more favorable environment for overwinter survival, enabling winter wheat production in areas previously considered too risky.
