Dedication to conservation and community is what’s driven Dick Wittman and his family business partners to pursue no-till, combining the practice with a healthy rotation of fall- and spring-seeded crops that comprise a sustainable cropping system among the steep hills of the Palouse.

The Lewiston, Idaho, grower and farm business consultant will profile the evolution of his farm’s no-till practices over the last four decades, and the critical support provided by creation of the Pacific Northwest Direct Seed Assn. He’ll also cover the importance of balancing economic with environmental benefits to improve profitability and quality of life on no-till operations, examine the value of collaborating with non-traditional partners, and discuss the importance of engaging in policy development related to conservation agriculture.
