This article from the Canola Council of Canada explains what fertilizer canola needs, and what soil and crop residue could provide.

Extension educator Jeffrey Graybill describes how no-till production of tobacco increases soil health and reduces runoff and nutrient pollution.

Keith Berns and his brother Brian co-own Providence Farms and Green Cover Seed in Bladen, Neb. They farm 2,500 acres, including corn, soybeans, rye, triticale, peas, buckwheat and sunflowers using continuous no-till and a variety of cover crop strategies to maximize the health of their soil.

Well-functioning soils are teeming with diverse organisms dependent on carbon as an energy source. But typical crop production practices like tillage and seasonal fallow reduce soil organic carbon over time and limit benefits that come from a robust soil biological community, says Dennis Chessman.

After first turning to strip-till and then converting his farm to 100% no-till practices, Merlin, Ontario, grower Blake Vince will share how he takes sunlight, water and carbon dioxide and makes them into products he can sell.

When it comes to getting the most from no-till, Russ Hedrick firmly believes a systems approach is necessary — and that includes no-tilling, cover crops, grazing livestock and using precision technology to manage seeding and nutrient application.

Two research stations in Kentucky, where no-till practices are one of the central themes, have provided 25-45 years of data — and some surprising results — on crops, rotations and tillage, as well as their effect on nutrient management, soil properties and grain yield, says John Grove.

In this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Manufacturing Company, we welcome Neal Kinsey, a fertility expert and agronomist from Charleston, Missouri who will examine the findings from seven soil samples in various geographic regions, soil types and crop rotations.

Circleville, Ohio, no-tiller Ryan Wilson explains the cover-crop seeding tool his family created with a Flexi-Coil air cart, Kuhn Krause Excelerator vertical tillage tool and some well-placed brackets and hoses. The family is in their 6^th year of seeding cereal rye on their farm.
