Soil Health WSU Pt 2 Monday Jan 11th, 2021 David Granatstein says a couple of recent studies are paying off … GRANATSTEIN … “Yes. I would say for sure! For example, we’ve seen a lot more acres using something like strip-till, which is a form of this high-residue farming. Certain crops are very amenable to that and not only does it protect the soil and improve the soil, but it can reduce costs because you have way fewer trips over the field, you can have less disease problems potentially, you can conserve water. So, there are a number of ripple effects that people do see. They may start it for one reason and they start to see some other benefits that even make it more compelling to use.”
