Will Rogers Still ‘Speaks Out’ on Climate Change
No-Till Legend and “retired” Ohio State University Ag Engineer Randall Reeder has been assisting us with an array of technology and history projects for years. But what you might not know about him is that he’s a dead-ringer for Will Rogers and has made a successful speaking gig business keeping Will Rogers’ spirit alive as he works his way through ag meetings all across the country.
‘What Work Has Taught Me’: Mike Lessiter’s Labor Day Message
Mike Lessiter, president of No-Till Farmer and our sister magazines at Lessiter Media, opens up aboutwhat he has learned from the various jobs that he held before working for Lessiter Media. In the theme of Labor Day, Lessiter says “work is a privilege,” and offers some sound advice on what makes a good employer.
No-Till Farming Fits with Dairy
In this video, see how Pennsylvania dairyman Steve Harnish uses sustainable dairy practices, including no-till, compost bedded pack barns for dairy cows, use of riparian buffers to prevent runoff and improved efficiencies to produce more milk with a smaller carbon footprint.
Wind Erosion in Tilled Field vs. No-Till Field in Kansas
Check out the extreme difference between the visible wind erosion in a tilled field vs. a no-till field right next to it in Kansas. Not only is the tilled field losing soil, but it’s also a potential danger to nearby traffic. Hopefully more accidents like the fatal Illinois dust storm crash will be avoided with the adoption of more no-till.
