Importance of No-Till & How it Works with Heavy Corn Residue
In this episode of Wheat Pete’s Word Podcast with Peter Johnson, learn about the importance of no-till and how that works with heavy corn residue, nitrogen application in very wet environments, critical temperatures for wheat and much more, including answers to questions on winter canola and the effects of drought on wheat.
Growing No-Till Wheat with Cover Crops
In this YouTube Short, take a look into Minnesota no-tiller Kari Olson’s farm operation. Olson doesn’t know what other farmers do for tillage in the spring or fall because she has never tilled a field before and she doesn’t plan to anytime soon.
The Trouble with Relying on Tillage for Weed Control
In this episode of RealAgriculture Soybean School, BASF agronomist Rob Miller explains why relying on tillage as an effective means of weed control can become problematic fast.
No-Till Makes its Way to Latvia
This video shows how no-till was introduced in Latvia. This type of soil cultivation is not yet very common in Latvia due to heavy soils and short growing seasons. Jānis Kažotnieks from the Latvian Rural Advisory and Training Center motivated a group of farmers to test no-till on their farms and initiated a farmer working group and provided them with knowledge and hands-on experience. After the initial phase, the farmers became experts and shared insights among themselves.
No-Tiller Shares Story with School Children, Learns Valuable Lesson of Diversity
As a white male farmer in Indiana, Chuck Zumbrun has never felt like an outlier because many of the people he is surrounded by fall into the same categories as him. But he learned a valuable lesson about diversity when he took a trip to San Francisco to share his farm story with a group of young school children who mostly speak Mandarin.
