Would we not be better off to get rid of the terms tillage and no till and talk about soil management?

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the National No-Tillage Conference, the staff of No-Till Farmer displayed a photo gallery at the conference in St. Louis titled “A Walk Through No-Till History.” Editor Frank Lessiter leads us through the gallery, which includes some highlights from the early editions of No-Till Farmer, no-till leaders and influencers, equipment and other products that led to greater adoption of no-till, and testimonials from farmers on how the practice changed their lives.

No-Till Farmer editor Frank Lessiter talks to several National No-Tillage Conference attendees, including the Young family, Ray McCormick and Phil Needham, about their experiences with no-till and the conference.

After reading Fifty Years of Disruptive Innovation over a recent weekend and reflecting on the many examples of innovation, passion and perseverance found in Jon Kinzenbaw's story, No-Till Farmer requested permission to share an excerpt of the book's content with our subscribers.

No-Till Farmer founder Lessiter talks about the importance of no-till to agriculture, the benefits it offers to growers, and the equipment and products that have helped the movement grow.

No-Till Farmer founder Frank Lessiter shares why he started the National No-Tillage Conference in 1992 and how it’s grown since, where he sees the future of no-till heading, and what it will take to increase the number of acres under no-till production.
