AB  - 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.
