This week’s Cotton Newsline is three cuts. All cuts are Andy Page, District Conservationist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Perry, Georgia.
Suggested introduction cut one:
All producers should reap the benefits of conservation tillage, says Andy Page, District Conservationist for the Natural Resource Conservation Service in Perry, Georgia. Not only will conservation tillage improve soil by increasing organic matter, it also helps producers conserve water and operating costs.
Suggested introduction cut two:
Since the early 1990s, Page has worked with producers on conversion to conservation tillage. With input costs continuing to rise, Page thinks conservation tillage has a proven record as a cost-saving practice.
Suggested introduction for cut three:
Although it’s too late to prepare upcoming cotton acreage for conservation tillage, Page encourages producers to begin considering implementation plans.
