Greg Scott and his wife, Becky, are slowly working to restore a 150-acre ranch with no-till and cover crop methods that will create a sustainable production system that doesn’t rely on inputs.

Will Brinton, the inventor of the Solvita CO2 soil test, helps no-tillers understand the relationship between soil biology and efficient nutrient uptake from the soil profile through this 60-minute webinar. [To view any of our webinar replays, you must be logged in with a free user account.]

In the 40 years I’ve been tracking no-till, soil biology has never received as much attention as it does today. As no-tillers refine their systems, more are recognizing the importance of doing a better job of managing the millions of critters living under the soil surface.

John Baker believes many no-tillers are too complacent about what they think they’re achieving. The proponent of minimal soil disturbance when seeding maintains some no-tillers think they’re doing a good job of sequestering carbon.
