No-Till Legend Marion Calmer Celebrates Wedding
“Hearts were a-breaking” across the no-till world last weekend, as Marion and Charla Calmer officially tied the knot at Calmer’s homestead on Alpha, Ill. True to form, the No-Till Farmer Innovator alum and No-Till Legend had a few surprises for his guests (and his new bride), including a staged “fall into the drink” on his way to exchanging nuptials on their “Calmer Waters” boat. Cheers to the Calmers on their pre-harvest honeymoon!
Busch Light Farmer Cans Are Back!
For each case of Farming Cans sold from July 1 - 31, 2025, Busch Light will donate $0.10 - up to $200,000 - to its longtime partner Farm Rescue, a nonprofit dedicated to providing critical material aid to family farms and ranches throughout the Midwest.
Planting Green and No-Tilling Corn with Compost Extract
Join the farmers at Ravenview Farm in southern Minnesota as they hammer out a quick 21 acres of non-GMO corn for the 2025 growing season. This is their 7th year using no-till practices and planting green into a standing cover crop, and their 4th year using compost extract in-furrow.
Cottage Cheese Soil Texture for the Win
Tillage leads to compaction and prevents water from flowing through it. When soil sits for a long time and microbes work their magic, the soil develops this crumb structure that allows roots and organisms to thrive and lots of places for water to hold on. In this video, take a look at the texture of the soil and why no-till soil texture is so much healthier than tilled soil.
Tips for Managing No-Till Organic Soybeans
In this panel discussion from OGRAIN, several presenters — researchers and farmers — discuss what they’ve learned and the best practices for managing organic no-till soybeans.
