Three tillage systems: conventional tillage, ridge tillage and notillage
are evaluated using stochastic dominance with respect to a function
analysis. Each tillage system is evaluated for three cropping patterns:
continuous grain sorghum, continuous soybeans, and soybeans after grain
sorghum. Conventional tillage continuous grain sorghum would be preferred by
risk averse managers, although small changes in production costs and yield
differences could lead to indifference between a no-tillage system and the
conventional tillage system
