To the topic, around here we do more pattern tiling, less open intakes.
We do more rough tillage leaving some trash on top, not burying it black.
We grid sample and variable rate apply fertilizer to bring up the low spots, and not overapply the high spots to make a good even soil that grows a good even crop.
We stopped row crop cultivating because of herbicides, so there is way way less soil erosion. In our hills and fine textured soils, that was the very big contributor to soil erosion.
A lot of beginning work is being done with cover crops, up here in the cold it is difficult but even here I see acres of covers now, I think I was the only one doing anything for several decades.
Ditches were better banked with lips to limit water flowing over the top into them in the 1980s already, those that weren’t already so.
Manure is again seen as a valuable asset with the higher fertilizer prices and is much better managed to feed crops, not wasted.
A lot of work is being started to apply fertilizer multiple times as spoon fed, when needed, instead of applying a lot once and just make it extra to allow for any losses.
Making our fields good with the tile, variable rate fertilizer, and all to get better yields and higher yields on the land we do farm let’s us not farm more acres, or bust up poorer land in an effort to get the bushels we need. In short, farm what we farm better, so we don’t always need to farm more.
