Without fully overturning the soil, minimum tillage leaves the water underground instead of exposing it to the air and sunlight, thus preventing/slowing evaporation.

What is a cropping plan?

A Cropping System is a general term that describes how a producer might grow a crop. A basic distinction is between conventional tillage & conservation tillage. Conservation tillage systems are methods of soil tillage which leave a minimum of 30% of crop residue on the soils surface with small grain residue during the critical soil erosion period. This slows water movement, which reduces the amount of soil erosion & benefits farmers through significant savings in fuel & labor. Conventional tillage refers to tillage operations considered standard for a specific location of crop & tend to bury the crop residues; usually considered as a base for determining the cost effectiveness of erosion control practices.
