Carbon is like water and oxygen. Without it, there’s no life,” says Jerry Hatfield, a retired laboratory director for the Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service.
Southern Illinois University researchers share data that explains the efficiency and effectiveness of no-till systems when it comes to profitable yields, nutrient cycling, earthworm populations and more.
LONG-TERM DATA from one of the oldest sets of no-till research plots in the U.S. has unearthed a number of interesting findings that confirm no-tilled soils become more efficient and productive over time and do a better job of storing carbon than with tilled fields.
Kansas State University Extension revisits the importance of measuring soil aggregates as a way to determine the structural status of the soil — which plays an important role in water infiltration, aeration, root penetration, carbon storage, and nutrient cycling.
In this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Mfg., we catch up with Ray Ward of Ward Laboratories, at the 2019 National No-Tillage Conference where he gets into the nitty-gritty on nutrients that are removed from a field during harvest or foraging.

Ray Archuleta explains why soil biology is so important to crop production and how utilizing soil life more aggressively can boost no-till performance.
Ray Archuleta has more hope for the soils affected by the 1985 Chernobyl nuclear power-plant explosion than he does for most agricultural fields in the U.S.
In this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Manufacturing, we're joined by University of Illinois crop physiology research assistant Alison Vogel who will discuss how accelerating residue degradation and nutrient cycling is necessary to maximize yield potential when no-tilling continuous corn.
