Help! No-Till Conserves Too Much Moisture
This farmer posted a Tweet about how he is really interested in no-till, but he has been having some difficulties with a smooth transition. Dozens of other farmers chimed in and offered advice on what might make the process easier.
No till is cool to conserve moisture until it conserves too much and drowns stuff out it can’t soak it all up. I think increasing notill is in our future but I think everything needs to get drain tiled first.

Iowa Farmer Emphasizes Importance of Family During Harvest Season
Pete Youngblut of Dysart, Iowa, posted this note on Facebook about how stressful this time of year can be for farmers. But he says one thing you must never take for granted is the support of a loving family to help you get through the stressful times.
Transforming Agriculture with No-Till
In this YouTube Short, learn why this grower says that no-till was the best thing he could have done for his farmland during a drought year.
No-Tilling Cover Crops to Increase Soybean Yields
This grower posted in the “Everything Cover Crops,” Facebook group recently and showed off some pictures of no-tilling triticale into sorghum sudan grass planted July 15 in North Central Kansas. He says the triticale will be sprayed out in mid-May of next year, and soybeans will be no-tilled into the mix of residue. One grower commented about increased yield for 3 years and counting from the same strategy!
