"I've been coming to this conference for over 10 years and this was definitely one of the best programs yet," an attendee told No-Till Farmer technology editor Noah Newman as the conference wrapped up.

Jimmy Emmons checks in from Oklahoma to show how his long-term no-till field held up after getting pounded by rain. Jimmy, take it away!

Emmons said in a LinkedIn post Sunday he was “very honored and excited” about the opportunity should it come to fruition. “We are at a critical time for our soil, food and human health. We welcome the challenge before us at USDA if we get the opportunity.”

Whether growers are just looking to tweak their no-till operation or planning for big changes, there will be something for nearly everyone at the 33^rd annual National No-Tillage Conference that kicks off in January. The full program has been released for the 2025 conference, which is scheduled for Jan. 7-10 in at the Marriott Downtown in Louisville, Ky.

A dream team of no-tillers — separated by thousands of miles — gathers under one roof to lead this special No-Till 101 pre-conference workshop.
