To evaluate no-till, strip-till, vertical-till, conventional-till, and moldboard plow in corn after soybean rotations.

2016 Central Illinois Corn Tillage Study - Corn After Soybeans

The 2016 PFR data continues to support the 8-year trend of tillage after soybeans leading to an increase in yield.

Exposed soil from conventional-till leads to warmer soil conditions.

The moldboard plow and chisel can aid in yield increase by removing compaction.

Removal of residue from the seed bed aids emergence by improving seed-to-soil contact.
