In our minimum tillage program so far we have ¦ noticed a few differences. One of the main dif¬ ferences which we. have noticed is the less compactness of the min¬ imum tillage soil compared to the conventional   soil   planting   land.
This factor then results in there being more weeds in the conven¬ tional land compared to the min¬ imum tiUage awl. In future articles
we will tell of more differences which we feel will result frwn this comparison
