Cover crops are a recognized method for increasing soil health by reducing soil erosion, increasing soil organic matter and improving soil structure. Cover crops can also safeguard water quality by reducing nitrate leaching.

Measure Soil Bulk Density to Understand Soil’s Health

Maintaining pore space in agricultural soils reduces compaction

By Dan Crummett posted on February 23, 2024 | Posted in Soil Health

For no-tillers interested in improving the productivity of their fields, measuring bulk density of soils at various levels can provide an indicator of overall soil health and any potential effects of compaction on soil structure.

It may have taken a “double-dog dare” for Oklahoma no-tiller Jimmy Emmons to try different crops and different cover crops in his rotation, but many of those experiments have paid big dividends in what Emmons calls “wow” moments.

When fertilizer is used as a starter, the data shows that it is largely not effective in terms of yield or economical response; however, if the fertilizer is added to a soil that tests low for soil test P (less than the critical value), a response to that fertilizer is expected, says the University of Nebraska.

In years when late harvest limits winter wheat establishment or when winter injury reduces stand, spring hard red wheat might be a viable option. A University of Nebraska study looked at water consumption, productivity and protein content of hard red spring wheat in 2021.

Occasional Tillage Just Not a Good Option

By Frank Lessiter posted on January 31, 2022 | Posted in No-Till Farming 101

Most no-tillers won’t want to hear it, but some University of Nebraska research indicates an occasional limited tillage pass won’t seriously damage no-till’s favorable soil structure. But with herbicide costs increasing significantly this year, we’ve heard that a few no-tillers are thinking of using a light tillage pass as a weed control option.
