Ada Soil and Water Conservation District shares story of Jason Miller, who adopted a system including cover crops and mob grazing and no-tilled corn in furrow irrigation on his farm near Marsing, Idaho, to reduce soil erosion and improve soil health.
Cover crop grazing, pollinator planting, water infiltration and no-till economics are among the topics to be covered in two field days set for Oklahoma and Kansas next month.
About 20 years ago, Ron, Robert and Earl Rayner of A Tumbling T Ranches in Goodyear, Ariz., began developing a no-till double-cropped cotton and wheat planting as part of an overall crop rotation they follow. This video chronicles their progress and highlights the success they've had in managing risks, sustaining productivity, economizing on water use, improving soil function, reducing soil temperature and developing a successful reduced-disturbance production system.
If manure increases formation of larger and more stable soil aggregates, what might be the benefits of fertilizing with manure as compared to commercial fertilizer? University of Nebraska Extension discusses potential benefits.
Despite the common assumption growers can't make cover crops work on dryland wheat in eastern Oregon, Wasco County wheat grower Noah Williams is working with his local NRCS and the county's Soil and Water Conservation District experts to seed covers to reduce erosion, retain soil moisture and build more organic matter.
One of the main benefits of using sensors to better manage irrigation is the reduced costs of pumping, as sensor users estimate water savings of 2 inches per acre, says University of Nebraska Extension.
Texas A&M AgriLife researchers have shared interesting results about wheat varieties and their ability to use stored soil water. What can you do to improve soil water storage and availability, outside of just buying the right variety? You guessed it.
Edge-of-field monitoring on 17 farms in Wisconsin and Minnesota highlights the need for no-tillers to apply ‘P’ under the soil surface and sample soils at varying depths.
