Having worked in the conservation ag sector for 25+ years, director of Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC), Ryan Heiniger, says that he has seen a lot of different types of cover crop/regenerative ag incentive and cost-share programs fail and succeed. But he feels that the current momentum around incentivizing conservation ag is bigger than it has ever been.

70% of growers said that cover crops made the transition to no-till easier, according to the Conservation Technology Innovation Center's 2023 National Cover Crop Survey.

The Conservation Technology Information Center is partnering with Farmers for Soil Health (FSH), a new program devoted to increasing the usage of cover crops on corn and soybean acres.

A national survey launched to gather insight from farmers who plant cover crops, as well as farmers who don't.

In looking at all of the major developments in American agriculture over the past 75 years, no-till has to be ranked close to the top.

Keeping agriculture environmentally sustainable while improving productivity is a growing challenge, and a new report shows that agricultural biotechnology is a key tool in overcoming it.

Biotechnology-derived crops and the sustainable farming systems they facilitate are key tools in the race to grow more food, feed, fiber and fuel while protecting the environment, the CTIC reports.
