Welcome to the Residue Matters web site!


Here you will find information about why residue matters and how leaving residue on your field can save you soil, energy and time.




Saving Money

Machinery and fuel usage can be reduced
with higher residue amounts on the land.
Go to the Saving Money page for details.

Saving Soil

With greater amounts of residue on your land, the less soil
is lost from water and wind erosion.
See the Saving Soil page to learn more.

Saving Nutrients

Reducing tillage and leaving residue on the field minimizes
the loss of organic matter.
