Nitrogen fertilizers acidify no-tillers' soil, so understanding lime needs can help maximize yields by reducing soil acidity, increasing biological life and improving nutrient uptake.
Information on soil tests are essential to understanding the condition of the soil and how to determine nutrient recommendations, says field agronomy manager John Leif.
FurrowForce, SmartDepth and the 20/20 Connect app could bring more precision and
flexibility for no-tillers seeking better stands and yields, the company says.
Brian Arnall, soil nutrition specialist at Oklahoma State University Extension, explains how plants benefit from the soil’s cation exchange capacity (CEC).
No-tillers David Hula and Kip Cullers say spoon-feeding crops at the right time, intensive scouting, healthy soils and even emergence have helped them raise contest-winning corn and soybean yields.
One of the most valuable lessons David Hula learned about farming came several years ago from a towering former NFL player turned DuPont Pioneer agronomist.
Check soil pH, phosphorus and potassium levels, organic matter, cation exchange capacity and base saturation on soil test analysis, says AgSource Laboratories.
Manure applications, in-furrow fertility treatments, ship-shape planters and 3 decades of 100% no-till are helping Pennsylvania no-tiller David Wolfskill reach record corn yields.
A few years ago while planting double-crop soybeans, David Wolfskill got out of his tractor, walked into one of his adjacent cornfields and noticed the ground was completely bare.
While most no-tillers know that cover crops can protect soil from wind and water erosion, a study conducted by the Conservation Action (CAP) Project at Napoleon, Ohio, points out even more potential benefits.

During the Sustainable Agriculture Summit in Minneapolis, Minn., Carrie Vollmer-Sanders, the president of Field to Market who also farms in Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio, shared why it is important for no-tillers and strip-tillers to share their knowledge with other farmers.
