The trend among northern Plains farmers is toward using less tillage to produce field crops with more residue left on the soil surface. Strip till is a field tillage system that combines no till and full tillage to produce row crops. Comparing the economics of strip-till production to conventional production involves changes in production costs that can be evaluated using a partial budget.
