New study shows that
conservation farming pays
Conservation farming systems
are financially viable, and in many
situations are actually more prof-
itable than conventional systems.
These conclusions, based on the
most up-to-date data, are from a
recently -published economic evalu-
ation of Tillage 2000 (T-2000),
the on-farm demonstration and
research program conducted by the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food (OMAF).
T-2000 is also part of SWEEP (Soil
and Water Environmental Enhance-
ment Program), the federal -provin-
cial initiative to reduce agricultural
sources of phosphorus loading
.in'1tlte'Lakei rri@slwinTe ttongh
profitable 'sit aftlable' farming
practices.
"Tire results of this study prove
what conservation -minded farmers
have been saying all along," said
Rick Seguin, senior economist with
Agriculture Canada and chief
economist assigned to SWEEP.
"Conservation farming systems
save producers time and money."
"This report looks at a variety of
factors," said Howard Lang, OMAF
manager of soil and water pro-
grams. "Conservation tillage gener-
ally gave conventional approaches
a run for their money in terms of
yields, work time and labor costs
for specific crops." '
While some earlier studies ques-
tioned the viability of conservation
farming systems, this study, Mr.
Lang said, based on practical, on.
farm research, shows conservation
farming can be profitable in many
situations.
Compiled by Deloitte, Haskins
and Sells, an economic consulting
firm in Guelph, the report is the
most detailed and exhaustive eco-
nomic analysis of T4000 ever,, pro-
duced. It is based on three years,
1986-88, of data collection from 35
cooperators throughout Ontario.
The economic analysis took into
account a wide range of factors
including: crop, Labor, machinery
used, fuel consumption and type
Among the key findings of the
study:
*Reduced (minimum) tillage
practices produced generally high-
er yields and higher net returns per
hectare than conventional practices
for corn, barley and winter wheat.
*No -till practices produced sig-
nificant machinery and labor sav-
ings and resulted in higher net
returns for no -till than conventional
or reduced tillage of winter wheat,
and net returns equivalent to con-
ventional practices in corn.
`Although average yields were
lower; and seed, fertilizer and agri-
eulturaf-chemical costs, slightly
higher, no -till provided soil protec-
tion and a viable option for cooper-
ators.
`Savings in both time and cost of
labor for no -till and reduced tillage
practices are evident.
`Reduced labor could give pro-
ducers the opportunity to use their
time more profitably; for example,
to grow more hectares of crops with
the same amount of labor.
Another portion of the study
compared the financial risk of con-
servation and conventional farming
practices. Results indicate a 90 per
cent probability that corn producers
will obtain greater net returns using
reduced tillage compared to con-
ventional — $114 versus $95 per
hectare, at current market values.
The study also reported an equal
risk for no -till and conventional
methods and concludes that conser-
vation farming poses no greater
economic risk and, in the case of
reduced tillage, is actually less
risky than conventional systems.
