Implementing No-Till Despite Lack of Access to Regenerative Ag Tools
In this video from Global Farmer Network, Nigerian farmer Patience Koku explains that while access to no-till and other regenerative ag technologies is not plentiful in Nigeria, she and her husband are still doing what they can to promote no-till and partake in the regenerative ag movement with the help of Global Farmer Network and other organizations.
No-Till vs. Conventional After Rain & Cover Crops
In this video, take a look at this demo field set up in Marathon County, Wis., where a 2nd year no till, a 1st year no till, and conventional till system that followed a corn/cover crop field with soybeans planted were observed. While checking on the soybeans after 2 days of heavy rain there were some interesting observations made about soil structure and what cover crops can do.
US Agriculture Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions More Than Any Other Sector
Agriculture is a favorite target among those looking for somewhere to place blame for greenhouse gas emissions. However, recent research from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows that agriculture has made more progress in cutting emissions than any other industry in the US. According to the report, “Inventory of US Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2022”, US greenhouse gas emissions increased from 2021 to 2022 by +1.3% but agricultural emissions dropped -1.8%.
Exploring Tillage, Aggregation and Biological Innovation with Rick Clark
In the latest episode of John Kempf’s Advancing Eco Agriculture Podcast, No-Till Innovator Rick Clark discusses how mycorrhizal fungi and other soil microbes respond to tillage, the impact of legumes on soil aggregation, the challenges of no-till organic farming and much more.
Minimizing Tillage by Terminating Covers with a Roller Crimper
In this YouTube Short from Center for Arkansas Farms and Food (CAFF), a group of researchers terminate winter cover crops with a roller crimper to minimize tillage.
