New pilot program aims to advance the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices and improve overall water quality in the Cheney watershed.

On-farm nitrogen loss is one of the major issues on farming, causing lower yields and higher greenhouse gas emissions. New research from the University of the Basque Country demonstrates positive results from using nitrification inhibitors.

Careful manure management is a principle of farm profitability and environmental stewardship. Applying manure to land that has a cover crop is another practice that can help with nitrogen management.

In this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Mfg., we’re joined by long-time no-tiller Steve Groff from Holtwood, Pa., who talks about how to cope when cover cropping goes awry, shares stories from his own cover crop failures, and answers questions about cover cropping challenges.

This agreement "finally levels the playing field for U.S. agriculture and will be a bonanza for America’s farmers, ranchers, and producers,” said Secretary Sonny Perdue.

The results of an Iowa State University field experiment conducted in 2019 with the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) showed up to a $200 per acre yield difference between different varieties.

One of the newest frontiers for scientific discovery, soil is offering new insights into the benefits of no-till farm management. A recent study by South Dakota State University, measuring 8 different enzymes, bacteria, fungi, organic carbon and nitrogen, found significant improvements in no-till fields compared to conventionally tilled fields.
