The residue retention requirement represents the minimum quantity of crop residue (dry tons per acre per year) that must remain on the field to satisfy soil sustainability constraints, including maintenance of soil organic carbon and limits on wind and water erosion. See Metadata description for residue retention coefficients.pdf for more detailed information.
