Cropland management has been severely impacted by recent droughts, but an ongoing transect survey shows an increase in the conservation practice of stubble retention to protect these resources.

The survey captures visual data and reflects practices and trends in the management of cropping paddocks as a way of measuring the adoption of Conservation Farming Practices (CFP).
