Abstract
In the Northern Great Plains, vast amounts of native grassland have given way to crops, mostly small grains and corn, over the past half century. It is less clear, however, what short‐term effects occur to the soil from grassland conversion. Research was conducted to assess the short‐term effects of converting land that is considered long‐term grassland to small‐grain production through either conventional tillage or no‐till practices using various indicators of soil health and to demonstrate how tools such as the Comprehensive Assessment for Soil Health (CASH) was used to document soil health indicator decline immediately upon conversion from grassland to small grains.
