Authors: Paul Blackwell and Bindi Isbister (Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia), and Jessica Sheppard (Avon Catchment. Tramline farming improves farm production and efficiency by controlling traffic and confining compaction to permanent tramlines and reducing overlap. This manual will help you develop your farming system to get the tramline farming benefits. The manual contains information on the principles and techniques of implementing a tramline farming system. There are many .  · Controlled-traffic farming (CTF) uses field traffic lanes for repeated equipment passes, resulting in the least possible soil area impacted by compaction. CTF may require significant investment and modification of equipment (Figure 1) .

Controlled traffic farming (CTF) restricts compaction to precise traffic lanes, where it improves wheel performance, allowing natural, uncompromised soil processes and productivity over most of. Controlled traffic farming (CTF) is a farming system built on permanent wheel tracks where the crop zone and traffic lanes are permanently separated. It can improve profitability and sustainability. Implements have a particular span, or multiple of it and all wheel tracks are confined to specific traffic lanes. Controlled traffic farming (CTF) limits compaction zones to permanent wheel tracks. Each farm is unique and there may be more sensible changes to management practices to capture economic and environmental benefits more easily.
