What is high residue farming?
High residue farming is a system of practices that maintains a cover of living or dead plants on the soil. These systems are competitive with conventional clean-till systems in yield and more importantly, profit. They require management of equipment, rotation, soil fertility, pests, and crop residues. No-till, direct seeding, strip-tillage and conservation tillage can all be high residue farming systems.
