How To Use Silage Tarps on a No-Till Farm
In this video from Practical Farmers of Iowa, Hannah Breckbill of Humble Hands Harvest in Decorah, Iowa, demonstrates how to set up a silage tarp early in the season to beat the weeds and create a workable no-till vegetable bed.
Flooding Wipes Out Nearly 40 Years of No-Till Farm Ground
In late May, areas around Wahoo, Neb., received about 11 inches of rain in just 3 hours.

Consequently, much of his farm ground, which has been no-till for nearly 40 years, was wiped out.

The film Six Inches of Soil aims to inspire farmers to adopt regenerative farming practices and encourage consumers and policymakers to support their efforts. It tells the story of our broken food system through the eyes of 3 young farmers and examines how we can replace this with a resilient and localized agro-ecological system.
