Q6 I see more rotation in this area. Folks get the benefit of moving corn to cotton, etc, builds soil tilth #agchat

Q6 Soil sampling is big change. Allows us to do what's best at lower costs, not over-doing things. #agchat

Q6 Striptill and conservation practices/programs have also been innovations. #agchat

Q6 RT @tefguy: Over the years we have tilled less black. Herbicides reduce incrop cultivations and trips, retaining OM #agchat

Q6: Nothing has changed more than tillage, also GPS aided smplng and fert recs. Allows us to be more accurate w/ what we are adding. #agchat

Q6 Crop rotation is the cornerstone of our cropping system. Some crops just do better following other crops. #agchat

drewbender:
Q6 We mostly just do more no-till planting. Also, have been using soil test data more effectively.

Q6 We were early adaptors of no till, so it took trial and error to build our rotation. #agchat

JPlovesCOTTON:
Q6 lack of in-season cultivation is a big one too. Even folks who were doing stale seedbed do less tillage now than 10 yrs ago #agchat

JPlovesCOTTON:
Q6 Can we include rotation as a limiting factor on nematodes here or does that go somewhere else? involves sampling too #agchat

Q6 GPS allows for variable rate application so fertilizer and lime are only applied where the soil tests say they are needed #agchat

Q6 regarding soil BMPs, how much does controlled release nitrogen play a role? #agchat

Q6 Soil pH is also an issue. Our nieghbor works 4 Veries and they have mobil soil pH testing machines. #agchat
