Oklahoma State University Extension cropping systems specialist Josh Lofton discusses Oklahoma’s sorghum crop as it nears harvest.

Jeff and Kent Need no-till about 1,500 acres of corn and soybeans, and seed cover crops, near Frankfort, Ind. Jeff says his grandfather was a huge proponent of conservation and his uncle has success no-tilling soybeans, which inspired Jeff and Kent to begin no-tilling more than decades ago. They see no-till practices as necessary to preserve the rolling to gently rolling fields they’re farming.
