The 2024 National Strip-Tillage Conference delivered strip-till, no-till and conservation ag insights to over 350 attendees Aug. 7-9 in Madison, Wis.

While the “original” events in Hawaii were discontinued in 1980, our staff considered producing an event like the National No-Tillage Conference (NNTC) for years.

Created by Zeneca Ag in 1997, this 58 minute video traces the history of agricultural tillage practices and soil conservation, from the invention of the plow though the disaster of the dust bowl to the science of no-till crop production. The No-Till History series is made possible by Calmer Corn Heads.

Alpha, Ill., no-tiller Marion Calmer will share tips and tricks for getting the highest performance possible out of combines at the 2018 National No-Tillage Conference.
