How does no-till farming help to stop the runoff of water?
No-Till is a great alternative to traditional moldboard plowing. In no-till instead of turning over the soil, it has a knife that splits open the soil a percentage of an inch and drops the seed in. Then it has rollers on the back to cover the seed in soil. This way the plant residue stays on the soil and there is not bare ground. Bare ground causes erosion because there is nothing there to stop the soil from being carried away by water.
