Nitrogen production is usually first on the list of reasons to use a clover cover crop, but no-tillers are finding there are many more benefits to be had.

Now more than ever before, no-tillers have the ability to compile mounds and mounds of data. But you may need to be careful about gathering too much rope.

Finding a factory-stock piece of equipment on Paul Anderson’s Coleharbor, N.D., farm is close to impossible.

The more I learn about farming, the more I’m impressed with the things my father did when he was more involved in the operation.

A change in soil sampling and fertility application may be just the ticket for Garrison, N.D., no-tiller Mike Zimmerman to achieve his farm goals.

Somewhere along the line I earned the title ‘Grandfather of No-Till’ and I suppose after more than 50 years in the game the name fits.

Generating more income on no-till acres is a powerful reason for no-tillers to raise specialty crops currently available.

No-tillers are finding that weed suppression can be an added benefit of using cover crops by tweaking a few management strategies in their fields.

I've had 25 years to refine my no-till system, but I’m nowhere near settling into a comfortable groove. My philosophy is to keep pushing my system to get more yield, use my inputs more efficiently and make life easier for myself and my son, Chris, who farms with me.

I've spent a good portion of my career helping producers adopt no-till practices through extension, as a Monsanto no-till specialist and, most recently, as a crop consultant.
