$20 Savings Extended Until Labor Day!
Joel Gruver To Present Can't-Miss Sessions On Nutrient Management, Cover Crop Applications!

Western Illinois University soils specialist Joel Gruver will make his first-ever appearance at the National No-Tillage Conference with two top-notch, info-packed general sessions sure to send you home with moneymaking no-till ideas.

Cover crops continue to gain momentum among no-tillers, but timely application of some species continues to challenge growers. Gruver will highlight some of the alternative application methods that can help no-tillers get cover-crop stands established on time.

Gruver will also provide a thorough examination of some of the nutrients that no-tillers aren't paying close enough attention to in a general session entitled, "Managing The Undermanaged Nutrients."

Updated: 2011 Announced Speakers

Ray Weil, the first announced speaker for the 19th annual National No-Tillage Conference, will help you connect the dots on how to make your no-till soil biology thrive... and help no-till crop yields improve.

The University of Maryland soil scientist is the author of the classic textbook, "The Nature and Property of Soils." Weil will share what he's learned about improving farmland soil biology for more productive yields in two sessions:

• Dealing With Dirt: What You Need To Know About Soil Quality
• Practical Steps To Making Plants Work For You And Your Soils

University of Nebraska ag engineer Paul Jasa will return to the National No-Tillage Conference for the first time in several years to tackle one of a no-tiller's most intriguing questions — How do I manage to get a uniform crop stand in a tough no-till environment?

Jasa will visit this hard-hitting topic in a general session and expand upon it further in a no-till classroom.

Former Iowa State University agronomist Palle Pedersen — now a technical manager for Syngenta Seedcare — will share the techniques he's found that can take your no-till soybean yields to a higher plateau. As part of a special no-till soybean general session on the opening evening, Pedersen will be joined by Martinsville, Ohio, crop consultant Ed Winkle and a panel of three no-tillers who will focus on must-know no-till soybean production tips.

A highly rated speaker at past gatherings of the no-till nation, Joe Nester will lead a general session on how to overcome some of the troubles seen today with glyphosate. Meanwhile, his classroom session will focus on how no-tillers can use variable-rate technology to tailor a cost-effective fertility program.

We also will have classroom sessions on strip-tilling. Metamora, Ill., strip-tiller John Obery will share how he has made the move to continuous corn by designing his own toolbar to plant twin rows on strips. Obery is featured in the August 2010 issue of No-Till Farmer's Conservation Tillage Guide.

Cleghorn, Iowa, no-tiller and strip-tiller Tom Oswald will share a number of the things he's learned from two decades of onfarm research that you can consider using in your no-till operation. The corn-and-soybean grower will also conduct a classroom session with specifics on his strip-till program.
