Production Differences with Dryland No-Till
Kyler Crossland, is a young, Wyoming-based producer that farms and ranches in multiple states. In this video, watch him as he shares his experiences with regenerative agriculture practices like no-till that have led him to farm carbon credits.
John Kempf: “Fix Soil Environment, Microbes Will Do the Rest”
In this video from Advancing Eco Ag, John Kempf says that if no-tillers want to grow nutrient-dense, resilient crops, they need to build an environment where soil microbes can thrive. That means keeping soil covered, breaking compaction layers so roots can reach deeper moisture and nutrients and feeding microbes with cover crops and living root exudates. Fix the soil environment, and the microbes will do the rest, Kempf says.
