California no-tiller Michael Crowell shares some of the key lessons he’s learned from giving up the plow and tips he has for future growers before they make the leap to no-till.

Just because soil isn't running off a field doesn't mean erosion and its negative consequences aren't occurring. Barry Fisher of the NRCS explains what happens when erosion takes place on pancake-flat ground.

Using neonicotinoid seed treatments in soybeans won’t likely give you a yield benefit, and the effects of using them may be more harmful than beneficial, says a recent publication.

Low aggregate stability puts your crop at risk for oxygen deprivation under excessive moisture conditions. Jerry Hatfield shares how to check aggregate stability and protect your soils while the aggregates rebuild.

A lot of ground was covered at the 24th annual conference, and while we'll be going more in depth on some of the information that was shared in the upcoming months, here's a quick roundup of some of the most interesting facts and tips learned at the 2016 event.

Lucas Criswell isn’t afraid to try new things for the benefit of his soils, crops, and ultimately profits. So when he learned that Penn State University entomologist John Tooker’s work suggested that neonicotinoid seed treatments may have negative effects on beneficial insects, he decided to make a change.

If you’ve been relying on the corn stalk nitrate test (CSNT) to evaluate and adjust your nitrogen (N) program, you may want to think again, one recent study suggests.

It’s well known that the ability of no-tilled soils to retain more moisture can pay off in drought years, but the practice can also beat out conventional tillage when there’s too much water.

If you’re in a corn-soybean rotation, even with continuous no-till, you’re probably still having some soil erosion, says an Iowa State University agronomist.

Harvest is well underway in many areas, but before you call the season quits, consider doing your soil sampling.
