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. 000096636 546__ $$aEnglish 000096636 650__ $$aEnvironmental Economics and Policy 000096636 650__ $$aFarm Management 000096636 650__ $$aLand Economics/Use 000096636 650__ $$aResource/Energy Economics and Policy 000096636 650__ $$aRisk and Uncertainty 000096636 6531_ $$aTillage 000096636 6531_ $$ano-till 000096636 6531_ $$aAgricultural Resource Management Survey 000096636 6531_ $$aARMS 000096636 6531_ $$aU.S. crop practices 000096636 6531_ $$aNational Resources Inventory-Conservation Effects Assessment Project 000096636 6531_ $$aNRI-CEAP 000096636 6531_ $$acarbon baseline 000096636 6531_ $$acarbon sequestration 000096636 700__ $$aHorowitz, John K. 000096636 700__ $$aEbel, Robert M. 000096636 700__ $$aUeda, Kohei 000096636 8564_ $$941e8bca4-5f08-47cb-93ef-67bd3b31d425$$s1122040$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/96636/files/EIB70.pdf 000096636 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/96636 000096636 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:96636$$pGLOBAL_SET 000096636 912__ $$nSubmitted by Marilynn Graham (mgraham@ers.usda.gov) on 2010-11-15T17:14:44Z No. of bitstreams: 1 EIB70.pdf: 1122040 bytes, checksum: cb5643c7d697ae537c38b3efb03d4469 (MD5) 000096636 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2010-11-15T17:14:46Z (GMT).
