No-till implementation will have positive impacts on soil health, water quality, net farm income, and quality of life.
· Soil Health· – Continuous no-till increases organic matter which improves infiltration, increases biological and microbial activity, and reduces compaction resulting in improved soil health.
· Water Quality· – Increased surface cover and infiltration rates reduce runoff contaminants in surface waters.
· Net Farm Income· - Reduced labor, fuel, and equipment needs to improve profitability.
