This 26-minute video presentation by Dr. Warren Dick (retired, Ohio State University) from the 2020 Conservation Tillage & Technology Conference, examines the pioneering research that has taken place at Ohio State University since 1962. The No-Till History series is made possible by Calmer Corn Heads.

As part of the 60th anniversary of no-till’s first commercial acres in 1962, No-Till Farmer updated its No-Till Legends list following the 30th anniversary of the National No-Tillage Conference in Louisville, Ky. This roster of “No-Till Legends” includes outstanding growers, educators and suppliers who have played a key role in the growth of no-till from 0 to 110 million acres in 6 decades.

Thousands of small but compounding victories spurred no-till’s growth from 0 to 110 million acres in 60 years.

In this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast series, brought to you by Topcon Agriculture, we hear directly from Frank Lessiter, long-time editor of No-Till Farmer, who has covered no-tillage for 45 years.
