Healthy Soil and Tasty Pizza
In Washington, Cascadia Pizza Co. partners with Shepherd's Grain to provide customers with local, high-quality pizza dough. Shepherd's Grain prioritizes soil health by implementing no-till practices in their wheat fields. No-till has helped protect farmers' soil, yield and profitability. Watch how this partnership connects farmers and consumers to see how Cascadia Pizza Co. and Shepherd's Grain work together to help customers know where their food comes from—and farmers know where their grain goes.
Illinois Farmers Recognized For Conservation Efforts
Illinois farmer nominees were recognized at the annual meeting of the Association of Illinois Soil and Water Conservation Districts for the Farm Family of the Year award. Stu Ellis of WCIA News interviewed the nominees from across the state to hear how they have implemented no-till, cover crops, waterways and other conservation practices to improve their soil and preserve it for generations to come. Farmers credit their local Soil and Water Conservation Districts with guiding them to conservation success.
Kentucky Wheat Harvest & No-Till Double Crop Soybeans
In this video, Mike Less visits Hunt Farms in western Kentucky as they harvest their 2026 winter wheat crop using an impressive fleet of four tracked Case IH combines while another crew no-till plants double crop soybeans immediately behind the harvest. As wheat harvest wraps up, a Case IH 620 Quadtrac is already in the next field no-till planting double crop soybeans with a John Deere N550 drill, showing how quickly farmers work to establish the next crop after wheat.
When and Where Do Soil Health Practices Pay?
Ben Gramig, Ph.D., a Research Agricultural Economist in the Conservation and Environment Branch of the Economic Research Service at the United States Department of Agriculture, shares the situations where soil health practices have proven to pay off for farmers. Learn more about his research and insights on when conservation practices can deliver economic benefits in this video shared by ASFMRA.
