The successes "of these attempts were variable. People with some prior experience faired well yet peo- ple in their 1st •or 2nd year had some problem. These problems in part can be attributed to climate, but on the whole poor crop perfor- mance was a result of missing one of the keys to a conservation man- agement package. Conventional systems have taken years to master and refine. Adopt- ing a conservation system can't be jumped into without some mis- takes. What you can do to limit your problems is to learn from others.
