Randy and Dan Linville are making their sloped fields more productive by feeding the soil and seeding cereal rye to improve soil tilth and reduce erosion.
Sitting with his nephew Dan in their barn near DeKalb, Mo., this past summer, Randy Linville recalled an event to convince them it was time to give no-till a look.
Randy Linville, who with his nephew, Dan, no-tills 1,700 acres of corn and soybeans near DeKalb, Mo., discusses how no-tilling, terraces and cereal rye seeded as a cover crop has sharply reduced soil erosion on their hilly terrain, and how a dedicated grid sampling program is helping the family get more bang for the buck with their fertilizer dollars.
Are you still wrestling with questions over soil fertility issues in your no-tilled pastures? A recent blog post from Oklahoma State University Extension’s Brian Arnall might shed some light on the situation for you.
Darren Nelson, who raised 108.5-bushel winter wheat in 2015 to win first place in the Kansas Wheat Yield Contest, shares how he manages fertilizer applications and uses grid sampling to his advantage.
Weeds were one of the first challenges we faced when my father made the switch to no-till. Learning to manage weeds has been a critical part of our no-till success, and continues to be an important area for our management attention.
Seeing the potential for more than just erosion control, Ohio growers Bret and Gene Margraf overhauled their no-till system by adding wheat and cover crops, variable-rate seeding and fertility and split-nitrogen applications.
We've been using precision technologies, such as yield monitors and variable-rate application, for more than a decade to help us fine-tune management practices and improve our production methods and profitability
