The 2004 National Crop Residue Management Survey (Survey), recently, confirms that 41 percent of all cropland is under a conservation-tillage system, meaning that farmers leave the stubble or residue from the previous crop to cover at least one-third of the soil's surface after planting.

No-till, the most environmentally friendly production system, is used to the greatest extent, covering 62.4 million acres in 2004. By leaving the crop residue and reducing or eliminating tillage trips, farmers protect the soil from water and wind erosion, conserve moisture, reduce runoff, improve wildlife habitat, and limit output of labor, fuel and machinery.
