Since most no-tillers probably already qualify for payments, the new 2002 farm bill offers plenty of opportunities and should lead to further expansion of no-tilled acres. But if you're just no-tilling corn and soybeans, don' expect that rotation to automatically meet the necessary government criteria in all states.

I'd make a really poor conventional farmer. I'd get bored out of my gourd. I never liked cultivators and I've always said they should rename them "corn killers."
