Farmer’s Candy Combine Showers Parade Goers with Sweets
A Minnesota farmer repurposed his combine into a child’s dream come true — a combine that rapidly dispenses candy at local parades. We want to see pictures of anyone who tries this out at their own local Fourth of July parade!
No-Tiller Rudy Pate Named to AgWeb’s 3 Farmers Under 30 List
In AgWeb’s recently published list of 3 farmers under the age of 30, no-tiller Rudy Pate is named as a notable young farmer. Pate grows 2,600 acres of strip-till corn, no-till soybeans, wheat, oats and 100 acres of hay, along with a cow-calf setup and a backgrounding operation on 400 acres of pasture.

Dryland No-Tiller Talks About Biologicals, Cover Crops in Regenerative Ag Podcast
In this episode of the Regenerative Agriculture Podcast from Advancing Eco Agriculture, Steve Tucker, a western Nebraska dryland producer, talks about integrating no-till and other regenerative ag practices into his operation after 20 years of farming conventionally.
A Prayer for Rain
This prayer from the 1950s was written during a severe drought in Texas. The prayer is making the rounds on Facebook, and hopefully that means rain will be on the way soon!
No-Till Drilling Soybeans into a Hayfield
