Champions & Challengers Lecture: What Is No-Till Soil Truly Worth?
Using data from the past 30 years, Haxtun, Colo., no-tiller Roy Pfaltzgraff investigates how a transition from tillage to no-till has impacted his 2,200-acre dryland farm’s bottom line. Taking his crop and input data from tillage done in 1991-96, no-till with fallow from 2011-16 and no-till with soil health focus in 2017-22, Pfaltzgraff compiles a side-by- side comparison of the ROI of these three systems and discusses factors beyond the numbers to determine if adding new methods are worth it.
