Jimmy Emmons checks in from Oklahoma to show how his long-term no-till field held up after getting pounded by rain. Jimmy, take it away!

Continuing the wet spring theme now from earlier in the show, veteran agronomist Ken Ferrie checks in from rain-soaked Illinois, where no-till is proving its worth on a field that received 5 inches of rain in less than 4 days.

One guy who’d love to get some of this rain we’ve been talking about, is Robert Boyle. He only gets about 7 inches of rain out in Coolidge, Ariz. But that’s not stopping him from using cover crops and strip-till.

No-Till Living Legend and 2024 Conservation Ag Operator Fellow Ray McCormick shows the water infiltration power of cover crops from one of his fields in Vincennes, Ind. The area received 5 inches of rain in mid-May the day before this video was taken.

In southeastern Wisconsin, where longtime no-tiller Tyler Troiola just got almost 2 inches of rain in one day. Throw in a tractor glitch, and it’s been a challenging spring so far. But thanks to no-till, Tyler’s fields aren’t completely covered in puddles.
