      abstract = {Most U.S. farmers prepare their soil for seeding and weed  and pest control through
tillage—plowing operations that  disturb the soil. Tillage practices affect soil  carbon,
water pollution, and farmers’ energy and pesticide  use, and therefore data on tillage can be valuable for  understanding the practice’s role in reaching climate and  other environmental goals. In order to help policymakers  and other interested parties better understand U.S. tillage  practices and, especially, those practices’ potential  contribution to climate-change efforts, ERS researchers  compiled data from the Agricultural Resource Management  Survey and the National Resources Inventory-Conservation  Effects
Assessment Project’s Cropland Survey. The data show  that approximately 35.5 percent of
U.S. cropland planted to  eight major crops, or 88 million acres, had no tillage  operations
in 2009.},
