Time for Moisture Conservation

We have gotten very little rain in the past several weeks.  Soils are thawed and ready for rain now.  It might be time to think about moisture conservation.  We have enough moisture in the soil right now to germinate our crops and get them out of the ground, but excessive tillage could change that.  Consider one pass if possible or no-till.  Keep as much residue on the surface as possible to help with infiltration and moisture conservation.
