On this episode of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Bio Till Cover Crops, Univ. of Illinois analysts dive into new data from the Precision Conservation Management program, comparing the economic differences between no-till, strip-till and other tillage systems.
Plus, we head to Washington County, Wis., for an update on two farmers who dealt with historic flooding over the summer. Blake Basse credits strip-till and cover crops for helping his cash crops survive the “1,000-year” rain event, while Ross Bishop says his no-till fields are more resilient than his neighbor’s conventional fields.
In the Cover Crop Connection, No-Till Innovator Rick Clark explains why cereal rye can sometimes be a double-edged sword when it comes to weed control.
Later in the episode, we ask the audience if they’re delaying corn harvest to cut down on drying costs, and if so, how will that affect their cover crop strategies?
We stop by the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis., and hear from a manufacturer who’s cautiously optimistic that 2026 will be a nice bounce back year for agriculture.
Finally, in the Video of the Week, Beck’s agronomists share new insights about higher plant populations at Becknology Days in Atlanta, Ind.
