No-till cotton adoption in the Great Plains isn’t anything to write home about. But two no-tillers in Oklahoma and Texas are making the practice work while many of their neighbors are zeroing out the crop.

One question that commonly comes up with continuous no-till operations is: “How deep should I sample soils for pH?” Another common question is: “How should the lime be applied if the soil is acidic and the field needs lime?”

Producers can advance their soil health efforts by attending upcoming summer events presented by No-till on the Plains.

Adding diverse crop rotations to no-till systems will move your operation in the direction of improved soil quality.
