Introduction

This three year project has two main objectives: (1) to assess and mitigate the soil impacts and crop growth potential resulting from a mulching/subsoiling process and (2) develop a business case that will evaluate mulching and other methods of traditional land clearing. Based on outcomes from this project, mulching and its role in agriculture will be better understood and producers will have sound information necessary to make informed decisions regarding their land management practices.
