Each month, the conservation ag group at Cornell University offers an analysis of the latest scientific papers dealing with conservation agriculture research from around the world. For this on-going web series, our editors will be selecting several research papers from the Cornell list that will be of special interest to North American no-tillers, strip-tillers and cover croppers.

Beyond the buzz: analyzing actors promoting regenerative agriculture in Europe.
Tracking the use of practices like reduced tillage and cover crops that promote healthy soil is challenging but critical to gauge progress towards regional and state goals. Farmers are reducing tillage and increasing soil cover. We see more residue cover on the field, nearly doubling from 36% in 2016 to 64%.
Some farmers are cutting back on tillage in an attempt to offset rising energy costs, according to the latest Ag Economy Barometer survey from Purdue University.
Earlier this summer, many growers, suppliers and educators figured the lessons learned the hard way in 2017 and 2018 would dramatically reduce this year’s concerns about dicamba use on soybeans. Unfortunately, that hasn't proved to be the case.
Data from the Census of Agriculture 2017 show a stable-but-growing number of farms no-tilling, big growth in reduced tillage, along with 15 million acres of cover crops seeded — up 49% since 2012.
The next time you’re in one of those seemingly hopeless debates with a clean-tilling neighbor about the value of no-till practices, turn to these talking points from the NRCS.
