Pig Manure & No-Till — A Match Made in Heaven?
In this video from the CLEAR Center at the University of California Davis, Professor and Air Quality Specialist Dr. Frank Mitloehner speaks with pig farmer Gary Asay, who is using a regenerative, no-till system where nothing goes to waste. Manure from the pigs is returned to the land, enriching the soil and helping grow nutrient-rich grain that feeds the next generation of pigs.

This Farmers for Soil Health video features Michael Thompson, a well-known name in conservation agriculture and No-Till Farmer’s 2025 Conservation Ag Operator Fellow, as he discusses his family farm’s journey to implementing conservation practices and the resources he used to make that transition possible, such as building strong peer relationships and finding trusted resources.
Built in the Shop, Proven in the Field — Planter Preparations
If you want better yields this year, it starts before you ever hit the field, and it starts with your planter. In this episode of The Dig from Beck’s Hybrids, head over to London, Ohio to spend the day with Tyler Schindel as he does a full top-to-bottom deep dive into planter prep and maintenance, and what actually matters when it comes to performance.

The last two decades have seen a significant increase in farmers using either double cropping or cover cropping on corn, soybean and cotton fields. Take a look at this chart to get a closer insight into the meaning of these recent cover crop trends
Researchers Develop Dynamic Framework to Monitor Tillage Practices from Space
A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign research team has developed a dynamic framework that uses satellite imagery and machine learning to detect tillage practices over large areas and long time periods. Learn more here.
