hand to present a program and
answer questions on management
of weeds and insects in high
residue tillage systems.
The percentage of crop residue
left on the soil surface after plant
ing may mean the difference of a
farmer being in or not being in
compliance with his Food Securi
ty Act (FSA) conservation plan
and being eligible or not eligible
for USDA benefits. Crop residue
management is a component of
more than 95% of all current FSA
conservation compliance plans.
Crop residue management is the
most cost effective single conser
vation practice available. Crop
residue management is the prac
tice of keeping as much as possi
ble of the previous crop residue,
(com stalks, straw, etc.) on the soil
surface before and after the pre
sent crop is planted. George J.
Phillips, Soil Conservationist for
ING FOR THE FUTURE with
this spring, I UMd the Aar-Way Implement and
ly chain harrow on my lolling pasturaland. This
■» to open up th« ground to get water into the
irasslands. At ths cams time I pulled the Aer
tow to scatter the cattle manure around.
Even alter the dry summer we had, I noticed that the
Asr-Wayad ground held the moisture better and wegot
thicker and talar ragrowth where we ran the machine.*

the Northumberland County Con
servation District, says, “Mini
mum tillage systems leave much
more residue on the soil surface
after planting than use of conven
tional plow tillage. Benefits of a
high residue tillage system are
many, including less soil erosion,
conserves more moisture, requires
less tillage, saves time, requires
less labor and improves water
quality.”
Farmers as well as other holders
of a private pesticide certification
will receive 1 credit toward certi
fication renewal for attending this
field day. The PA Department of
Agriculture has approved this
program as an update training
session.

field day. contact the Northumber
