Over the past thirty years, a new planting technique has slowly begun to be adopted by many farms in the United States and around the world. This method, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions, soil erosion and agricultural expenses, is no-till farming. No-till farming is an alternative to conventional tillage practices that have dominated the agricultural landscape for many centuries. There are multiple issues hindering the pace at which no-till farming is adopted, but they are far outweighed by the benefits no-till farming offers. This paper will attempt to provide evidence and logic that will demonstrate that no-till farming is far superior to conventional techniques, and as the next natural step in the advancement of agriculture, no-till farming will serve as a way to improve farms all over the world. in terms of efficiency and cost effectiveness. It will also provide evidence that our current industry needs to change to provide incentives for farmers to work to conserve our resources and look to the future. Conventional agriculture refers to the process by which farmers break up soil using agricultural equipment to speed up the decomposition of organic matter in the soil and prepare the soil for planting. This process is called tillage and is performed using certain agricultural tools that have been developed and specialized specifically for this task. No-till practices effectively eliminate the entire tillage process, eliminating the need for equipment, gas, labor and maintenance costs associated with tilling the land. Eliminating this step in the agricultural process can significantly reduce business costs and allow many farmers to have more freedom... from paper... heb.
