Bringing Regenerative Agriculture to Your Farm
Joe Hamilton, a Muncie, Ind. farmer, shares several tips to make the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices a smoother process. He recommends adopting slowly, finding experienced mentors and using cost-share programs.
No-Tilling into Clover
This farmer in northwest Pennsylvania no-tilled his corn crop into a clover cover crop. He planted the clover in the fall to give the corn a nitrogen boost the following spring. On his farm, he grows corn, oats and hay in addition to running an 80-head cow/calf operation.

The field served as a fitting backdrop for the Iowa Soybean Association's Roots and Results Field Day, held in partnership with Iowa Learning Farms and Iowa Corn. The event focused on practical conservation strategies, cover crop management and lessons learned from years of on-farm research." Read the whole article below!
