This poster seeks to identify factors that lead to adoption of no-till and conservation tillage in cotton in the United States. Specifically, the study seeks to identify farm and farmer characteristics that drive conservation tillage practices in general (i.e., no-till and reduced till: ridge-till, strip-till, and mulch-till) in U.S. cotton production and the impact of conservation tillage across the U.S. and within selected regions.
