On the major cropland soils in Indiana, net returns from alternative corn and soybean tillage systems varied $20 to $40 per acre. The variations related to both yields and cost differences. The till-plant system produced net returns equal to or greater than other systems on all soil groups. The no-till system produced net returns comparable to those with the till-plant system on well-drained, sloping soils. However, no-till returns were unfavorable compared with most other systems on other soils.
