The machine was developed for sustainable crop systems, and improves conservation through no-till technology that allows the cover crop to remain intact while planting another crop simultaneously. In addition, this implementation of soil conservation also saves fuel and other input costs.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightSoil erosionSoil conservationSustainable agricultureAdoption of innovationsCash cropsNo-tillFarm/Enterprise Scale Field ScalePlans for no-till roller free for the downloading: Rugged yet elegant design lets crafters turn metal into dynamic tool for saving fuel, cutting chemicals and applying crop rotationsAbstractCopyright 2008 The Rodale Institute
