Tyler Troiola used John Deere See & Spray Premium for the first time. The retrofit kit uses 36 cameras and machine learning to selectively target spray weeds. Troiola used it on corn at 10 inches, 14 inches and 18 inches. When corn was 10 inches tall, he says See & Spray only sprayed about 18% of the field, which adds up to over 80% in herbicide savings. It went down to about 70% savings on 14-inch-tall corn, and 60% savings on 18-inch-tall corn.

We’re hopping in the DeLorean time machine for our Video of the Week and going way back to 2011 for a star-studded field day in Mercer County, Ohio. No-Till Innovators Jim Hoorman, Ray Archuleta and the late Dave Brandt, gathered to talk about the concept of ‘ECO Farming,’ which stands for eternal no-till, cover crops and other best management practices.

No-Till Innovator Rick Clark of Williamsport, Ind., says diversity is his top consideration in building soil health. His farm fields have 9 different crops growing throughout the year.

Time now for our Video of the Week. This one comes to us from Carlisle County, Ky. Brad Reddick reflects on his switch to no-till, and his son Joel explains why they’re playing small ball with cover crops.

In this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by The Andersons’ Over Pass Lineup, contributing writer Laura Barrera talks with Dover, Minn., no-tiller Dan Fohrman about his contest-winning corn yield and his approach to raising high-yield no-till corn.
