It is the first tool-centered book to combine farmer experience, commercial agricultural engineering expertise, and university research. Illustrated with line drawings and photographs, it presents in practical language what farmers and researchers have learned in the last twenty years about cutting weed-control costs through improved cultivation tools, cover crops, and new cropping rotations. It addresses the hard questions of how to comply with erosion-prevention plans, remain profitable, and manage residue and moisture loss. Twenty-two farmers are profiled. Appendixes are included.
