How has the drought affected crops where farmers used
conservation tillage? Farmers and
anyone else who would like to know can find the answers this
month in Burke County.

The University of
Georgia and five other government groups and commercial firms
will host the Central
Savannah River Area Conservation Tillage Demonstration Farm
Field

Waynesboro.

The field day will focus on cotton, peanuts and soybeans. The
UGA cotton team will be
on hand, along with experts with UGA, John Deere, Monsanto and
others.
