Stevens Point Journal Monday, June 27, 1988 Conservation is aim of tillage demonstrations Conservation tillage demonstrations are under way again for processing vegetables in the central sands region Wisconsin. The demonstrations are intended to reduce fuel use by reducing tillage operations through conservation tillage. They also are to reduce wind erosion by maintaining more crop residue on the soil surface after planting. Lowering production inputs and damages caused by wind erosion should increase farm profitability. Eight demonstration plots have been established for sweet corn, snap beans and peas in Adams, Juneau, Portage and Waushara counties.

The cooperating growers are comparing some form of conservation tillage to conventional tillage on each plot. Reducing wind erosion is a primary concern in the central sands area where erosion strips vulnerable topsoil. Wind erosion also can damage crops through a sandblasting effect, cause poor visibility on roads during dust storms, air pollution and increase cleaning costs for area residents from dust. About 265 vegetable growers in the area farm an estimated 55,000 acres of snap beans, peas and sweet corn annually. Erosion exceeds acceptable levels on as much as 70 percent of the land.

Moldboard plowing is the predominant form of tillage. The demonstrations are to show that conservation tillage can be used to reduce soil erosion to acceptable levels and maintain agricultural production. Crop residues are being measured after planting on each plot. Samples will be taken to compare soil losses on two of the plots. Equipment to measure wind velocity and direction will be placed on one plot.

Plot data is being collected by a student intern from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Data will include tillage operations, fuel use, type of cover crop used, crop and variety planted, percent residue cover, herbicide, pesticide, fungicide and fertilizer use. The plots will be scouted for weed, insect and disease differences between the two tillage systems throughout the summer. Differences in grower management on each portion of the field also will be obtained. The data will be summarized in the fall, and a project report will be made available to the public in December.

This report can then be used by agencies, growers and others to provide information to help promote use of conservation tillage. This is the second of three years of demonstrations being conducted by the Cooperative Extension Service and the Golden Sands Resource Conservation Development Area. They are being sponsored by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and the Soil Conservation Service.
