*Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and land management based on the practical
application of context-specific and locally adapted three interlinked
principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance
(no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with
all other farm operations including harvesting);  (ii) permanent
maintenance of soil mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops);
and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally
and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations
involving annuals and/or perennials, including legumes and cover crops),
along with other complementary good agricultural production and land
management practices. Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all
continents, involving rainfed and irrigated systems including annual
cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and plantation systems,
agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, pasture and rangeland
systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems. Conservation
Tillage, Reduced Tillage and Minimum Tillage are not Conservation
Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own* (more at:

Cover Crops Offer Options in Wet Soil

As more farmers across the nation begin to incorporate covers into their
rotations, they find that this valuable conservation practice pays in more
ways than one. Many farmers in states suffering from oversaturated fields
that prevented or delayed planting are considering cover crops. To help
farmers evaluate the benefits of incorporating cover crops into their
production systems, USDA-SARE released an important new report that
examines the big question: “When do cover crops pay?”

Using data gathered from five years of national cover crop surveys, *Cover
Crop Economics* addresses the economic returns that can be expected from
cover crops under various management scenarios and as cover crops improve
soil health over time. This report takes a comprehensive approach by
identifying seven different management situations when cover crops pay off
faster. They are when:

   - Herbicide-resistant weeds are a problem
   - Cover crops are grazed
   - Soil compaction is an issue
   - Cover crops are used to speed up and ease the transition to no-till
   - Soil moisture is at a deficit or irrigation is needed
   - Fertilizer costs are high or manure nutrients need to be sequestered
   - Incentive payments are received for using cover crops
