CASMGS Research
"To a large extent, cropping systems used by farmers determine the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil. Cropping systems also affect other greenhouse gases. In general, no-till cropping practices result in more carbon stored in the soil. However, farmers must make the decision to move towards no-till carefully. While no-till practices can produce benefits for the land, there are tradeoffs to consider. Past research has shown that yields may not increase with a no-till cropping system. Higher chemicals use is necessary to offset weeds controlled by mechanical tillage systems. Farmers may have to invest in bigger machinery compliments for no-till systems. The economics of no-till must be carefully considered by individual farmers. We will work closely with researchers at Montana State University and the other universities involved in CASMGS to provide farmers with a computerized decision support system to evaluate their unique financial and economic situation in comparing tillage systems."
