For several reasons, seed placement in no-till is fundamentally different from tilled systems, but vigorous stands in no-till are more attainable than you might think. You can achieve consistent stands every year in every field, says Tom Cannon.

The veteran grower from Blackwell, Okla., who no-tills corn, double-crop soybeans, cotton, winter wheat and milo, seeds cover crops and raises livestock, will document how he’s implemented Exapta Solutions’ forensic-level approach to no-till planting and seeding, while also sharing what helps and hurts stand establishment in a no-till farming system. Cannon will also arm you with a better understanding of how plants grow and how the no-till seed-installation process can be more effectively accomplished..
