Excerpt from Crop Residue Management to Reduce Erosion and Improve Soil Quality: Northern Great Plains Soil erosion by wind or water degrades our soils. Besides outrightly removing material from the fertile topsoil, large windstorms or rainstorms selectively remove material high in organic matter and nutrients. The result is surface soil depleted of plant-available nutrients, high in density, and low in porosity and capacity for water intake.

Excerpt from Crop Residue Management to Reduce Erosion and Improve Soil Quality: North Central Leaving crop residue on the soil surface has a number of clear advantages over tillage that leaves the soil surface bare. Most notable is the greatly reduced erosion from wind and water. Other advantages include increased yields from conserved water, lower soil temperatures, increased soil organic matter levels, and in many cases reduced require ments of time, labor, and fuel. Mandated conservation compliance by 1995 is an additional incentive for farmers to adopt crop residue management.
