Although reducing tillage intensity can provide conservation benefits and cost savings, adoption of no-till and minimum till practices for corn production has been limited in some areas, particularly in the northern Corn Belt.

Strip-till has been proposed as an alternative minimum tillage system for areas and soils that are not well suited for no-till management.
