| Abstract: | The economic benefits of the adoption of conservation tillage depend on site-specific factors including soil characteristics,
local climatic conditions, cropping patterns, and other attributes of the overall farming operation. While it is possible
to draw some general inferences about components of economic returns and costs, a comprehensive assessment of the net private
benefits from greater use of conservation tillage is not feasible.
