Growing No-Till Corn, Soybeans and Oats with Cover Crops

Ben and Kristy Dwire farm 550 acres of corn and food-grade oats and soybeans in Lincoln County, Minn. They also have 100 acres of pastureland and hay where they rotationally graze grass-fed beef. They use no-till on all their acres and grow cover crops in most of the fields. In this video, Ben talks about how using no-till has dramatically improved the soil health in his fields. He also discusses how using cover crops like cereal rye helps keep the water hemp down, and under-seeding red clover reduces the need for nitrogen fertilizer.

Transforming Soil Health Systems with No-Till, Grazing & Other Conservation Practices

In this video from Kansas Association of Conservation Districts, learn more about the essential functions of healthy soil, including water retention, nutrient cycling, yield production and erosion resistance. Plus, learn how maximizing the presence of living roots, minimizing disturbances, maximizing soil cover and promoting biodiversity can transform soil health and agricultural sustainability. This video showcases the transformative power of soil management practices, from no-till farming to rotational grazing.

Termination Dates for Cover Crops in a No-Till System

In this video from Practical Farmers of Iowa, no-tillers Sam Bennett of Galva, Iowa and Jon Bakehouse of Hastings, Iowa discuss their experiences and findings from trials investigating delayed termination of cereal rye in soybeans. They give some background about their motivations to conduct on-farm research and explain how their original research questions evolved into an on-going trial looking at the impacts of not terminating cereal rye and leaving it to re-seed itself.

Stronger Soils & Higher Profitability with No-Till Farming

In this episode of the Better Business Better Life Podcast, featuring CEO of Indiana Soybean Alliance Courtney Kingery, she talks about how balancing economic interests of farmers with sustainable agricultural practices involves implementing cover crops, no-till and effective soil management. Farmers in Indiana are adopting no-till farming to reduce soil erosion, manage nutrient runoff and increase profitability.
