Fact: During the period from 1996 (before GM crops) to 2002 the percentage of cropland acres in conservation tillage in USA has remained nearly constant at 36-37 %. Over the same period the percentage of cropland in intensive tillage has increased from 38,5 % to 40,5 %. USA had 2.3 million more acres in intensive tillage in 2002 than it had in 1996 -- and 700,000 less acres in conservation tillage. I don't know what your calling conservation tillage, You are interested in tillage system for soil conservation in USA, and do not know the definition of 'conservation tillage' in your national tillage statistics?
