No-Till Seeder Inventor Howard Dahl Shares First Hand Look at Ukraine Situation
Howard Dahl, known to no-tillers for his Concord air seeder, talks about his 90-plus trips to the Ukraine and personal observations on the war in this 2-minute AgWeek video. You can hear more on Dahl’s business from this podcast from Lessiter Media’s Ag Entrepreneurs Series.
World Water Day Brings No-till, Cover Crops to Fore

No-Till Pushes Into 'Magical' Location

Lost? There’s also an English channel.
