When we asked No-Till Farmer readers to describe the critical changes they’re making this fall, we received a wide variety of ideas. Faced with needing to make changes based on rising expenses, environmental concerns and weather worries, these innovative no-tillers are adopting a number of different ideas to boost yields, trim costs and improve profitability.

If there's one thing zero-till farmers aren’t afraid to do, it's trying something new. That might explain why a new pesticide-free production (PFP) system being explored by a team of Manitoba researchers is attracting so much interest from the province’s no-till farming community.
