Soil Conservation

Conservation of the amount and enhancement of the quality of topsoil are the main goals for any comprehensive approach to soil management.  Topsoil is essentially a capital reserve of every farm.   Ever since mankind started agriculture, erosion has been the single largest threat to the soil’s productivity and consequently, the profitability of the farm.  Soil erosion continues to be a serious threat to our continued ability to profitably produce adequate food supplies.

Numerous practices have been developed to keep soil in place, which include reducing or eliminating tillage, managing irrigation to reduce runoff, and keeping the soil covered with plants or mulch. Enhancement of soil quality promotes increased crop health as well as reduces the quantity of nutrient fertilizer amendments needed for production.
