In this episode of the “No-Till Farmer Influencers & Innovators” podcast, brought to you by Martin Industries, we look back at a reduced tillage practice that was developed even before the no-till movement got started. In this episode, No-Till Farmer editor Frank Lessiter talks with “Bud” Fleischer of Columbus, Nebraska.

Sidedressing nitrogen has become a popular practice as a way to deliver the right amount of nitrogen to crops at the right time while reducing the risk of leaching. However, according to research from the University of Minnesota, split applications don't always work better than up-front applications. Find out how to assess whether or not sidedressing makes sense.

The microbial activity in cover crops can provide soil fertility benefits and reduce the loss of nutrients but may not provide as much carbon sequestration as expected, says a researcher at Iowa State University.
