NORTHERN WAYNE COUNTY CONSERVATION
TILLAGE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
Dear Cooperator,
The Director's of the Wayne County Soil and Water Conservation
District proudly present this final report at the conclusion of the
Northern Wayne County Conservation Tillage Demonstration Project.
Observations and statistics from three years experience with no-till
in Wayne County can be found here.
The success of the project has depended on the willingness of many
people to work and learn together. Much credit goes to the agency
people, farmers, dealers and salespeople who have recognized the need for
a joint effort to solve water quality problems. Because of their partici-
pation and the support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
Great Lakes National Program Office, no-till is now recognized and
established throughout Wayne County as an erosion control and management
tool for the farmer.
The project has left behind a legacy of knowledge and experience
still available to the farmer new to no-till. The District looks forward
to continuing work with conservation tillage based on a foundation and
framework built by the project.
Sincerely,
RogerE. LaGasse,
Wayne County S.W.C.D.

INTRODUCTION
In 1972, the United States entered into a joint agreement with Canada,
the United States Canada Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. As a result,
the International Joint Commission oversees efforts at restoring and pro-
tecting water quality in the Great Lakes drainage basin. In the United
States, the Environmental Protection Agency has responsibility for meeting
goals set by the International Joint Commission. Three and a half years
ago the Wayne County Soil and Water Conservation District applied for and
was awarded a project grant by the Great Lakes National Program Office of
the Environmental Protection Agency, as part of the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency ' s efforts in the Great Lakes. The project attempted, through
educational opportunities and on-farm demonstration, to show that no-tillage
methods of farming can produce crops on a competitive basis with conventional
tillage and reduce soil erosion at the same time. No-till has been shown
to drastically cut soil erosion on agricultural land. The impact of
phosphorous and other nutrients rigidly attached to soil particles can be
similarly reduced by implementation of no-till.
The Northern Wayne County Conservation Tillage Demonstration Project
has been a three year program to demonstrate and accelerate adoption
of no-till in Wayne County. The project used existing District staff for
administrative, supervisory and clerical support. The District's Board
of Directors provided direction and made policy decisions. Primary
responsibility for the day to day activities of the project and short term
goals rested with a full time project specialist. Technical assistance
came through a well defined working relationship with the Soil Conservation
Service and Cooperative Extension personnel. The local County Committee
of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service pledged to
seek funds for cost-sharing no-till on a trial basis for cooperating
farmers, providing additional support to the project. At the end of
three years, the project expected to have exposed farmers to no-tillage
farming through demonstrations, tours and meetings. No-till would be an
established practice on some farms and introduced on others. Need for
erosion control and prevention of off-farm impacts on water quality
would be recognized.
RESOURCES OF WAYNE COUNTY
Physiography and Soils
Wayne County lies in the Lake Plains region of western New York
State, halfway between the cities of Rochester and Oswego. Geography
and location have strongly influenced Wayne County's agricultural
activities. Pre-glacial Lake Iroquois left unique lake plain soils
behind in the vicinity of present Lake Ontario. A remnant ridge running
parallel to the lake shore defines the past extent of the Lake Iroquois
beaches. Large parts of the townships of Rose and Galen are made up of
fine, poorly drained lacustrine soils. Organic muck soils also occur
throughout the county, with considerable acreages deposited in the town-
ships of Marion, Sodus and Savannah. The balance of the county is dominated
by a drumlin landscape. These long, cigar shaped hills always point north
and south. Since the molding and scraping action of glacier movement
shaped them, the majority of soils in these areas are well to poorly
-------
drained glacial tills. Outwash gravels and floodplain deposits are
interspersed in places between drumlins.
This diversity of soils, coupled with a long growing season relative
to the Northeast, supports diverse field crops, fruit, vegetable and
livestock operations. There is no one farm that typifies those in the
county. Some cooperators produce only grain, vegetables, fruit or dairy
products, but they are rare. Most raise a variety of goods, depending on
their available labor and land resources. As a result, cooperators often
came into the project through contacts made in other District programs.
Soils to which no-till
is adaptable are spread
throughout the county.
Ontario, Hilton, Palmyra
and Bombay soils account
for most open farmland.
These are deep, well drain-
ed and productive soils on
which no-till can success-
fully be practiced. As one
crosses the countryside how-
ever, soil types change
quickly, even within the
same field. This limits the
extent to which no-till can
be put to use on any one farm.
A few small areas of the
county, particularly in the
townships of Rose and Galen,
are dominated by poorly
drained lacustrine soils
with serious limitations for
no-till. These soils
are very gently sloping
to level. Erosion hazards
on these soils can be
adequately dealt with by
minimum tillage.
Past glacial activity not only influenced soils, but also drainage
characteristics of the county. No dominant stream courses were left
after the last glacial retreat. Four streams flow into Lake Ontario,
receiving water from the northern half of the county. In the southern
half, drainageways outlet into a complex of channels resulting from the
construction of the New York State Barge Canal through sections of
Ganargua Creek and the Clyde River. Water from the Barge Canal flows
ultimately into Lake Ontario via the Oswego River. Stream valleys are
poorly defined, with narrow flood plains. These valleys occur between
drumlins or across areas of flat lacustrine soils.

Lake Ontario strongly affects climatic conditions in Wayne County.
-------
Snowfalls from any one storm can exceed twenty-four inches with a
seasonal average of eighty-eight inches. Average precipitation totals
thirty-six inches, and half of that usually comes during the growing
season. The temperature-moderating effect of Lake Ontario extends inland
from the lakeshore in a narrow belt approximately five miles wide.
Farmers in the belt start planting later in the spring and have a longer
wait until a killing frost in the fall. Fruit production in Wayne County
is heavily concentrated near Lake Ontario where frost and freezing damage
to fruit crops and the fruit trees themselves is reduced. Areas near
the lake are also subject to sudden and very localized rain and snow
falls. These rains have helped cooperator's crops during dry summers in
the course of the project. The remainder of Wayne County, south of the
lake effect, tends to have a more uniform climate. Intense lake storms
may at times penetrate further south however, creating zones of heavy
local precipitation.
Weather patterns over the project life have been important to the
operation and timing of activities but probably had only a small influence
on overall success. Unseasonably low temperatures and excessive rainfall
delayed demonstration planting in the spring of 1983, causing scheduling of
equipment to be moved back three weeks. Very dry weather from the start
of July through the last week of August preceded generally favorable
weather in September and October. Delayed planting and moisture stress
at critical growth stages drastically lowered corn yields in nearly every
field in western New York State.
The year of 1984 closely resembled 1983 in weather behavior. Planting
was delayed three to four weeks. Demonstration fields were similarly
delayed. More unusually dry weather followed until heavy storms hit
the second week of August. An early frost came on the 6th of October,
ending the growing season too early for many farmers. Some fields
damaged by frost were harvested as silage that would otherwise have
been combined for grain. Yields for no-till, although low, were
comparable to conventionally-tilled stands.
The last year of the project was characterized by much improved
weather. Corn planting progressed at a rate approximately equal to
the historical average. Soil moisture levels remained satisfactory
until the beginning of July. Dry conditions prevailed right up
through September. This year, however, no-till fields had longer and
better filled ears than most others fields on the same farm.
The project succeeded despite unusual weather circumstances.
Although plans often had to be changed or postponed at the last
minute, every cooperator with plans for no-till under the project
was able to plant a demonstration on his farm.
PROJECT METHODOLOGY
Administration
Operation and administration of the Tillage Project resembled
other District programs. Budgeting, purchases, policy making, book-
keeping and similar management details were handled according to
procedures used by the District. The five member District Board of
-------
Directors set policy, reviewed budgets and authorized expenditures.
A project specialist carried out day to day project matters under
the supervision and guidance of the District Manager. A series of
quarterly and annual reports to the Great Lakes National Program Office
accounted for project activities and fund disbursement.
Equipment
At the beginning of the project, a Haybuster 1206 no-till drill
was purchased on bid from a local dealership. Arrangements were also
made for a project-supervised lease of a White 5100 four row no-till
corn planter to farmers from an other local dealer. These, along with
planting services done on a custom basis by some project cooperators,
provided the equipment neccessary to get demonstration crops planted.
A tool kit for servicing machinery and rental of a pickup truck on a
mileage basis insured the most prompt and timely service possible to
cooperators within the limits of weather and equipment demand. Later,
the purchase of a Taylor-Way ridger/cultivator made ridge-till demon-
strations possible on an experimental basis as well as cultivation in
no-till corn.
Operating Procedures
Farmers who participated in the project became involved through a
variety of contacts. Some contacted the District after reading Extension,
A.S.C.S. or District newsletters. Many took interest in the successes
of friends or neighbors who no-tilled in the past. Still others were
recruited after being involved with other programs or services. The
majority of cooperators signed up during the winter months. Many who
attended the state or regional no-till conservation tillage meetings
later came to the No-till Roundtables sponsored by the project in
conjunction with Cooperative Extension. Cooperators were not picked
from a list. Assistance was given to any farmer who requested it, and
would agree to follow recommendations and provide soil tests. Those
who would not follow recommended practices did not receive the time and
equipment support available to project cooperators. The District
Conservationist and Project Specialist visited farms prior to the start
of the growing season to help farmers make plans and recommendations
for the crops they intended to no-till. Arrangements for corn planters
were also made at that time. Some cooperators had their own no-till
corn planters. Others chose to rent the White 5100 planter made avail-
able through the project. Farmers working with the project followed
recommended herbicide, fertility and other agronomic practices. Soil
tests were required in all cases. After planting, crops were scouted
through the growing season for any developing problems, and follow-up
treatments were recommended. Farmers planting corn were strongly
encouraged to no-till corn in side by side demonstration with conventional
tillage. Yield information was later collected for demonstrations
during the harvest season.
The Haybuster no-till drill purchased by the project made demon-
strations of no-till small grains and forages possible. Work with these
crops was handled in a similar fashion as with corn. Oat planting
began earlier than corn, and barley and wheat planting ran through
September. Most forages were planted in early June or mid-August.
These crops provided an additional "foot in the door" for generating
-------
interest in no-till farming.
Assistance to Cooperators
Responsibility for technical aspects of the project was shared by
Jim Capron, of Cooperative Extension, Frank Winkler, S.C.S. and the
project specialist (first Nora Lawrence, then James Smith). Training
opportunities sponsored by S.C.S, Cooperative Extension and other
groups were used to keep the project staff current on recommended
practices for no-till applicable to the area. Information and education
strategies used several points to reach project cooperators. No-till
Roundtables held each winter covered agronomic and management demands
of no-till, as well as information on the Tillage Project goals.
Repeated on-farm visits covered in detail the recommended practices
for each crop. Cooperators were encouraged to attend regional and
state-wide corn and tillage conferences. Summer tours of tillage
practices re-emphasized lessons in agronomy and management, and
highlighted side by side demonstrations. The District Newsletter, mailed
to nearly every farmer and farmland owner in the county, kept cooperators
abreast of coming events and project accomplishments. Additional support
of project goals and events was provided by articles in Extension and
A.S.C.S. newsletters.
A &id-t>onA -in management.
All the services and events occurring as part of the project came
together as a package of tools neccessary for bringing about no-till
demonstrations. The encouragement, equipment, education and expertise
for making on-farm demonstrations of no-till were available to any
farmer willing to be innovative and strive for high levels of
management.
-------
IMPACTS OF NO-TILL
Interagency Cooperation
The work done by the Northern Wayne County Conservation Tillage
Demonstration Project has had several impacts on agriculture. Changes
have occurred in agency programs, agri-business outlook, farmer attitudes
and general understanding of no-till as a conservation tool.
The information blitz involving newsletters, local media, "roundtable"
meetings and tours has drawn some agencies more closely into the areas of
farm management and agronomy. The people who worked towards the goals
of the grant are now recognized as able to provide advice in no-till
crop production. The project actually left behind a pool of expertise
that farmers new to no-till can draw on. This expertise provides an
extra dimension of understanding for personnel in the field by improving
abilities to apply other, more traditional methods of soil and water
conservation. Farmers may become involved with the District through one
program, such as drainage. They could then be introduced to the conservation
tillage project. No-tillers might be persuaded to use strip cropping
in conjunction with no-till to control erosion. A final mark on all the
agencies involved has been greater inter-agency awareness of respective
goals and responsibilities. Future multi-agency efforts will have a very
strong foundation to work from.
Understanding of the management demands, abilities of, and restraints
on no-till are now much more widespread than would have been possible with-
out the project. The demonstration and education approach saturated the
whole county with opportunities to see, do and learn. Without the manpower
provided by the grant, no-till activity in the county would have been far
less visible to farmers and agri-business. One interesting side light
to this has been an improved credibility and understanding of goals of
the various government agencies on the part of equipment dealers, chemical
representatives and other agri-business persons.
Adaptability
Wayne County's soils and
topography were important ^*»*****
factors in the progress of the ^**» ^
project. Extremes in slope,
topography, soil texture and
fertility limit the degree to
which no-till can be adopted by
any one operator. Local farmers
who have accepted no-till as a
c/iecfe-6
A. no-tM
pfio\)-Ld
-------
permanent part of their management scheme find that some situations arise
that demand some kind of tillage. Excessive rain at harvest time may
leave fields in a badly rutted state. Manure on dairy farms needs to be
utilized in a sound and efficient manner. The solution may require
application of some form of limited tillage. Other situations, such as
low pH and fertility, poor drainage or excessive weed pressure arise,
particularly for the full time grain and cash crop farmer who must rent
much of the land worked every year. After three years experience, one
very important conclusion can be made. Adequate fertility and drainage,
proper planter operation, good weed control and adapted varieties are
neccessary for acceptable results with no-till. No-till has a better
chance for the first time farmer if problem situations are avoided, even
if it means postponing no-till one or two years. Although this meant
discouraging some farmers from no-till for a year in the project, it has
paid off as a long term strategy to establish no-till as a conservation
and crop production practice.
Fortunately, the vast majority of farmers operate their farms in an
agronomically sound fashion. A large percentage of soils in the county
favor no-till application. Management tools used by project cooperators
have overcome certain difficulties. Changes in crop rotation, variety
improvement and selection, timing of planting, and machinery modification
have increased the range of conditions over which no-till will perform on
an economically competitive basis with conventional tillage. The demon-
stration approach used these "case in point" situations from neighboring
farms as evidence when making plans for no-till with cooperators.
Farmer Acceptance
Economic considerations
have affected farmer
decisions to try to
adopt no-till. The
cost of raising man-
agement up to a level
that will produce
satisfactory yields is
considered when figuring
profitability over
conventional or minimum
tillage. Education
and information programs
through the project
and the programs of
Cooperative Extension
have been successful
A.6 demand ^oh. no-&JJL e.qiU.pmnnt QSLZLV, n.oJLi&bL
-------
The project has proven that no-till can be adopted. Participating
farmers have recognized equal yields and production costs, while appreci-
ating the management and conservation advantages of no-till. Many farmers
became part of the project because they saw a need to address certain
erosion problems. The high initial costs of no-till forage establishment
are often outweighed by elimination of erosion damage to new seedings or
by the moisture conservation effect no-till has in dry weather. The end
result is a better forage stand and relief from extreme demands on labor
resources during spring planting. No-till may be the best management
option for the farmer who would otherwise be unable to plant a large part
of his corn crop at the optimum time because of weather or tillage imposed
delays. This has been proven especially true on several dairy farms that
have chosen to no-till where and when they can. Another management factor
no-till has offered to project cooperators is improved harvestability
of their crop. Two project cooperators now no-till most of their corn
crop because surface residues improve traction for harvesting equipment
without damaging soil structure in wet fields. They can harvest their
crop without getting stuck, and field losses due to shattering and lodging
are reduced because their crop comes in as soon as it is ready.
The results of the project indicate that no-till has become firmly
established in Wayne County. Whatever the reason for adoption, each
farm has to be examined on a case by case basis to see why it is used
and how it is made to work. No-till has many advantages over conventional
tillage. Some farmers like erosion control, while others take interest
in no-till's management options. A proven local record of success has
been achieved, and the District sees a bright future for more no-till
in Wayne County.
PROJECT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Participation
One good measure of how much work
the project has been able to do can
be seen in the number of people that
have been reached in three years.
Eighty-six farmers actually planted
no-till crops as part of the project.
Approximately two hundred people
participated in tours, Roundtables
and other meetings. Cooperation
and support came from the many
dealers and company representitives
who did business with cooperating
farmers. Each year of the project,
eighteen new cooperators got
started with no-till demonstrations.
Several farmers showed interest
each year in trying something
new or innovative the following
year. The project never lacked for
interested people willing to work
with no-till.

Information and Education
Hand in hand with an effort to get no-till on the ground were
educational opportunties intended to make sure the job got done
right. Summer tours and Roundtable meetings in the winter covered
each year's goals and emphasized agronomy and management lessons from
the past year. Recommendations made during farm visits were backed up
with information intended to help make the farmer aware of why those
recommendations were made. Some practices, like soil testing and
herbicide application, received particularly close attention. The project
occurred at a time when much controversy arose concerning the validity
of various soil testing laboratories and soil testing in general.
Cooperator involvement in the project gave agency personnel an
additional chance to illustrate the need for soil tests from agronomic,
economic and water quality standpoints. Increased use and understanding
of soil testing has been a by-product of project efforts.
With cooperators all over the county and signs on roadside
demonstrations, no-till has been very visible. Farmers in every
neighborhood in the county had the opportunity to see no-tilled
fields throughout the growing season. Permanent cover establishment
for orchards, cover crops, livestock waste management and other conser-
vation practices have been introduced to farmers. Planning for no-till
with a cooperator often developed into an overall farm conservation
plan. Agronomic practices like crop rotation had to be considered
or upgraded as part of complete management plans for no-till on some
farms.
Results
Over the project's life, an impressive number of acres of no-till
crops have been planted. No-till corn ranks number one with two thou-
sand fourty-four acres. Other crops include one hundred eighty-eight
acres of alfalfa establishment, seventy-seven acres of oats, nineteen acres
of wheat, fifteen acres of pasture renovation, ten acres of soybeans and
five and a half acres of barley. A series of permanent orchard cover
seedings were established for demonstration purposes. In 1985, two
cooperators planted no-till variety trials on their farms. Twenty-eight
side by side comparisons with conventional tillage were done.
In order for no-till to prosper without project support, no-till
machinery will have to be available to anyone who wants or needs it.
Twenty-five of the eighty-six farmers who participated in the project
own modern no-till corn planters. Sixteen of them purchased their
machines as a direct result of involvement in the project. Two cooperators
now annually plant large numbers of no-till acres for other farmers as
a custom service and several cooperators have replaced or upgraded
their spraying equipment to meet no-till demands.
Ridge-till and use of a ridger for cultivation of no-till corn
was introduced to the county by the project. In 1984, fifty acres of
ridge-till corn were planted. In 1985, another fifty acres were planted.
-------
Yields were good, especially considering that the technology and
equipment were breaking new ground in New York State. Yields for
no-till corn demonstrations were satisfactory each year. Demonstration
yields, acres planted, cooperator involvement and other statistics
are summarized in tables included in the appendices.
The project's goals have been reached. The number and range of
activities undertaken by the project for promoting no-till covered nearly
all of no-till's possible applications in Wayne County. Interest in the
practice continues to grow. Farmers have had a chance to see no-till
perform as well as conventional tillage. Several cooperators use no-till
in a sound and efficient manner. No-till has a place in Wayne County.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
Based on the lessons and results of the Tillage Project, certain
recommendations can be made. The District's work with conservation tillage
should and will continue. Agency involvement with conservation tillage
will probably focus on introducing innovative equipment and management
ideas. The steady flow of new cooperators each year suggests there are
still many people to reach. Also, fine tuning of management practices
should be encouraged for those farmers devoting much or all of their
cropping resources to no-till. Application of no-till for small grains,
forage establishment and pasture improvement has been demonstrated. With
most corn ground in the county in some kind of rotation with these crops,
no-till applications for them should continue to be demonstrated.

-------
The specialist hired as part of the project will remain as an employee
of the District. The District will continue to provide the manpower
neccessary to do demonstration work. Ridging, trials with non-inversion
plows, and information campaigns will continue. Farmers will be encouraged
to compare no-till with conventional tillage as they come into the program.
The District expects, as in the past, that a tillage program will draw from,
and add to, other conservation programs. The District looks forward to
continued progress with conservation tillage. The project generated a
tremendous amount of interest and got many farmers started on no-till.
With advances in hybrids, herbicides, equipment and other management
factors, no-till will become a more popular practice. With assistance
and encouragement by all the people involved in the project, conservation
tillage can be part of better agricultural practices and better water quality
in the Great Lakes basin.

APPENDIX IX: SOILS ASSOCIATION ADAPTIBILITY TO NO-TILL
Group 1 - Prime soils for no-till.
Group 2 - Prime soils for no-till.
Group 3 - Soils in this group with fragipans have limited potential for
no-till because of poor internal drainage.
Group 4 - Some group 4 soils with coarser texture or weak fragipans are
adaptable if drainage problems are met.
Group 5 - Slow permeability and shallow root zone prevent no-till applications.
Group 6 - With proper management and timing many of these soils produce good
results with no-till.
Group 7 - Most are adaptable to no-till if adeqaute artificial drainage exists.
Group 8 - Gravelly Palmyra soils have potential for no-till, while other flood
plain soils have slow permeability and inadequate drainage.
Group 9 - Special management can adapt no-till to most muck soils. Mineral
soils in this group often have drainage and compaction obstacles.
,
Each area outlined on this map consists of
more than one kind of soil. The map is thus
meant for genera/ planning rather than a basis
for decisions on the use of specific tracts.

16. ABSTRACT
The Northern Wayne County Conservation Tillage Demonstration Project has been a
three year program to demonstrate and accelerate adoption of no-till in Wayne
County. The project used existing District staff for administrative, supervisory
and clerical support. The District's Board of Directors provided direction and
made policy decisions. Primary responsibility for the day to day activities
of the project and short term goals rested with a full time project specialist.
Technical assistance came through a well defined working relationship with
the Soil Conservation Service and Cooperative Extension personnel. The local
County Committee of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service
pledge to seek funds for cost-sharing no-til.1 on a trial basis for cooperating
farmers, providing additional support to the^project. At the end of three
years, the project expected to have exposed farmers to no-tillage farming
through demonstrations, tours and meetings. No-till would be an established
practice on some farms and introduced on others. Need for erosion control
and prevention of off-farm impacts on water quality would be recognized.
