“With climate change, we never give up planting a regular crop. We used to, but now the falls are so warm and summer-like that I can plant in August and grow a crop of soybeans. It’s unbelievable.”
— Ray McCormick, No-Till Living Legend & 2024 Conservation Ag Operator Fellow, Vincennes, Ind.
No-Till Living Legend Ray McCormick never abandons replanting a crop. Even after a summer flood, all the farmers in his area of southwest Indiana will rush back into the fields to plant the high spots and then lower spots.
In today’s episode of the podcast, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, McCormick, No-Till Farmer’s 2024 Conservation Ag Operator Fellow, takes contributing writer Michaela Paukner out crop scouting after a mid-May storm that dumped 5 inches of rain in less than 24 hours.
