No-Tilling Corn After Oats
Join Mike Less in Van Wert County, Ohio, as Convoy Dairy harvests oatlage and plants corn for silage on the same day. As soon as the forage harvesters leave the field, Harting Farms moves in with their John Deere 9570R equipped with LSW tires, no-till planting the next corn silage crop using a 54-row John Deere DB90 planter on 20-inch row spacing. Supporting the planter is a John Deere XUV 835M Gator equipped with the Yield 360 Sprint system, allowing fertilizer to be delivered quickly so planting can continue with minimal downtime.
Using No-Till and Hog Manure to Build Better Soil
In this video, Professor and Air Quality Specialist Dr. Frank Mitloehner speaks with Illinois hog farmer Gary Asay, who uses 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. Instead of traditional tillage, this system relies on natural soil biology—especially earthworms—to do the work, improving soil structure, water retention, and long-term productivity. This closed-loop approach to agriculture highlights how farmers are working with nature to build healthier soils, reduce inputs, and create a more sustainable future for livestock production.
Regenerative Ag Practices Create Better Soil
Check out this video where K-State Agronomist Chuck Rice and Hayden Guetterman of Guetterman Brothers Family Farms discuss how regenerative agricultural practices can promote soil health. After implementing no-till and cover crops on their farm, Guetterman Brothers Family Farms has continued to push the envelope in regenerative agriculture.
EarthScout L4+ Soil Moisture Sensor Review in No-Till
Matt Griggs, a Tennessee farmer, tests the EarthScout L4+ Soil Moisture Sensor in his long-term test plots. Over 10 years old, his test plots examine the long-term effects of no-till and cover crops. Watch this video to hear his thoughts on no-till's effect on water infiltration and his review of the moisture sensors.
No-Till Time Savings
Farmers switch to no-till for many reasons. For John C. Johnson, it was all about saving time. Johnson farms just under 1,000 acres of corn, wheat and soybeans. His main farm is just east of Stewartstown in York County, Pennsylvania, but he also has fields in nearby Harford County, Maryland. Click this link to read the full story!
