Despite its benefits, maintaining continuous no-till has become increasingly challenging because of the lack of herbicide options for difficult-to-control and herbicide-resistant weeds, as well as issues with stratification of soil pH with increasing soil acidification near the surface.

In this month’s edition of Your No-Till History, we’re taking a look at 50 years of research data from the Belleville Research Center at Southern Illinois University, located in Belleville, Ill. The No-Till History series is made possible by Calmer Corn Heads.

Agriculture has a long history of bare soils, even contributing to the downfall of past civilizations.

In this webinar, Holganix President of Agriculture, Dave Stark Ph.D. will discuss the role of soil microbes in breaking down crop residue and building soil health.

From the cab of his truck, the future of Vincennes, Ind., No-Till Living Legend Ray McCormick’s newly planted corn doesn’t look promising.

Lots of folks are saying we need to dramatically expand our cover crop acreage in an effort to improve soil health. But if this is going to happen over the next few years, the most effective way depends on many more farmers switching to no-tillage.

Join No-Till Farmer in this special webinar where we will show a replay of Howard G. Buffet's session from the 32nd Annual National No-Tillage Conference.
