Fall tillage can improve your bottom line.
How?
- Residue management incorporates and distributes organic matter back into the soil evenly, feeding soil microbes and improving soil health, increasing water absorption, and reducing runoff and wind erosion.
- Compaction management breaks up hardpan to a consistent soil density to encourage strong root growth and allow spring snowmelt to soak in.
- Stubborn weeds and volunteer plants are suppressed, reducing the possibility of chemical resistance, destroying chemical-resistant weeds, and reducing plant diseases and the risk of insect damage.
- Soil aeration allows oxygen and nutrients to flow through and feed microbes, and conserves moisture.
- Fall incorporation of herbicides into a residue-covered surface reduces runoff and wind erosion.
- Consistent seedbed depth, consistent temperature/moisture.
- Exposes black soil, warming soil quicker in the spring with better seed-to-soil contact promoting faster germination.
- Smooths uneven ground and wheel ruts while drying out wet fields.
- Dries soil quicker and more uniformly in high residue or poorly drained fields.
- Saves time in the spring by applying fertilizer with fall tillage.
