Summary: Extract: Costs and soil loss were determined for six tillage systems used in the dry pea-winter wheat area of the Palouse. No-till tillage saved the most topsoil, but had the highest crop-cycle costs, due to increased chemical costs. The system with the lowest costs used a cultivator for the initial tillage and saved nearly as much topsoil. Three other systems saved considerable amounts of topsoil when compared with moldboard plow tillage and had intermediate two-year costs
