Summary

​No-tillage corn production provides many advantages for soils and, in some regions, yield. No-tillage corn results in yield losses in other regions, but ranks at the top in economic returns. Understanding the benefits and challenges of no-tillage corn as well as some general points on production management are critical to maximizing yield and benefits of no-tillage corn.
