[Podcast] Early Equipment and Practices from the Heart of No-Till Country
In this episode of the “No-Till Farmer Influencers & Innovators” podcast, brought to you by Montag Manufacturing, No-Till Farmer editor Frank Lessiter talks with Ross Morgan of H&R Agri-Power, who had a front-row seat during the growth and development of the no-till movement.
Brought to you by:
“For three years in a row, we sold more planters than any White dealership in the U.S. because were right in the middle of no-till. We happened to be at the right place at the right time…” — Ross Morgan
Listen in as Ross talks about working with no-till innovators such as Howard Martin, Eugene Keeton and Harry Deckler; why Case IH took its first no-till planter off the market; the four elements that are critical to even corn and soybean emergence; the role the combine plays in no-till systems; how the Russian embargo of 1981 affected the ag industry; and more!
P.S. There’s lots more great no-till stories and history in Frank Lessiter’s new book, From Maverick to Mainstream: A History of No-Till Farming. Check it out here.
