Crop Residue is a farming practice typically used in the Prairie region to try to conserve soil moisture by leaving the field waste on the fields after the harvest.  This waste material is usually chopped up by the combine and broadcast across the field behind the combine.   As a physical buffer, crop residues protect soil from the direct impacts of rain, wind and sunlight leading to improved soil structure, reduced soil temperature and evaporation, increased infiltration, and reduced runoff and erosion. While some studies suggest that plant roots contribute more carbon to soil than surface residues, crop residue contributes to soil organic matter and nutrient increases, water retention, and microbial and macro-invertebrate activity. These effects typically lead to improved plant growth and increased soil productivity and crop yield.
