Abstract
Conservation tillage in New Zealand has allowed mixed crop and livestock farmers to adjust their management systems and, potentially, gain significant financial benefits over conventional management practices. Cost savings in machinery and labor were examined and changes in management to prolong livestock grazing are described. As the benefits could only be correctly estimated in an integrated whole farm management system, a typical New Zealand mixed crop and livestock representative farm was used as the background for the analysis. The benefits which arise through adjustments to the farm management system when conservation tillage techniques are effected are shown to be sufficient to affect the management of most New Zealand mixed crop and livestock farms.
