Discussion

The difference at this site was very close to being statistically significant.  We will see what we find in 2016 after another season of traffic simulations.  We would like to keep this site as a longer-term CTF site once Adam Gurr is finished his M.Sc. project in 2016.  Perhaps the benefits of CTF will take more years to fully express themselves as was the case with no-till?  Stay tuned!
