4. Soil Management Considerations
Discussion – Holistic Management Considerations
How can you holistically address common management considerations?
•
“If I change my tillage practice, I’ll need to buy all new machinery!” What could you do before
buying new equipment to improve your ultimate experience? For example, you might speak
with those who have already used no-till equipment, and you could buy used equipment or
build your own. What other approaches are you thinking about?
•
“If I don’t use herbicide regularly, the weeds will take over!” What could you do to manage
weeds? For example, inventory the different weeds you see each year and their growth
behavior to address them appropriately before they become overly problematic.
•
Are there other issues that seem challenging to you?
