Dick Wittman, grower and farm business consultant, Lewiston, Idaho

Many no-till operations are becoming larger and more complex, and involve increasing diversity and numbers of employees and owners working toward a common mission. No-tillers today operate in a global environment where how goods are produced are almost as important as what is produced, which requires growers to consider the importance of process improvement, says Dick Wittman. 

The 38-year no-till veteran and renowned farm business consultant explains what process improvement is and where the principle can be applied in no-till operations. Wittman outlines how no-tillers can develop standard operating procedures and identify the risks of operating without them, and discusses how to measure benefits of improved efficiencies and create reward systems for motivating improvement in farming systems and processes.
