Like many farmers, Vernon Campbell of P.E.I.’s Mull Na Beinne Farms Ltd. has replaced a mouldboard plow with a cultivator in order to reduce soil tillage. The cultivator leaves some sod on the surface, which helps prevent wind and water soil erosion. Replacing moldboard plows is one practice that has become common in P.E.I. as farmers begin adopting best practices to improve soil health, following a year of drought-like conditions in 2020.
