No-Till Planting Winter Wheat

Glyphosate Loss Could Cost No-Tillers 2.9 Billion
What does a future without glyphosate look like? How about a nearly $2.9 billion drop in net farm income, food inflation more than doubling and an additional 33.72 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year, for starters. The grim details were spelled out in a new report from The Directions Group, which highlighted farm bill programs and the role of crop protection tools.
Since its introduction 50 years ago, glyphosate has proven to be an effective, cost-efficient weed control tool and enabled farmers to add conservation practices to millions of additional acres year after year by moving from full tillage to conservation tillage, no-till, and/or cover crops.
