History of the National No-Tillage Conference
In the latest episode of the Hoosier Ag Today Soil Health Podcast, Lessiter Media president, Mike Lessiter, talks about the history of the National No-Tillage Conference, what it’s grown to today, and his thoughts on the future of no-till and the conference. The episode also features Hans Kok, an independent conservation consultant, who talks about his experience at 25 of the 32 conferences, which have been held in January since 1993.
Relay Cropping in a No-Till System
In this video, No-Till Farmer’s 2023 Conservation Ag Operator Fellow, Loran Steinlage, shares his experience with relay cropping and alternative cropping systems while describing how they've added benefit to his no-till operation.
From No-Till to Nitrogen
In this video, Greg Klinger, extension educator at University of Minnesota and Ryan Buetow, Minnesota State Agronomist, describe how no-till, strip-till and cover crops may reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon sequestration while maintaining crop yields and profitability. They also examine the long-term research on soil health from applying nitrogen fertilizer in corn and soybean rotations.
From Moldboard Plow to No-Till Planter
In this article from Ohio’s Country Journal, read about how the switch from potatoes and dairy production on Ted Logan’s Morrow County, Ohio, farm, to no-till and cover crops has been a radical change — especially for the clay loam soil on the gently rolling fields.
Martin vs. Yetter Row Cleaners for No-Tillers
In this video, Adam Fennig of Fennig Equipment compares Martin and Yetter row cleaners and explains why regardless of which one you choose, the most important thing is to remove the no-till coulters from your planter. Fennig also mentions his trip to Indianapolis last week for the 2024 National No-Tillage Conference and some of the conversations he had with no-tillers at the event.
