In this episode of the Farm Equipment podcast, “How We Did It: Conversations with Ag Equipment's Entrepreneurs", Editor Mike Lessiter sits with Steve Martin of Kentucky-based planting attachments manufacturer Martin Industries.

On April 26, Lessiter Media Inc. (which publishes No-Till Farmer) attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Life Sciences Communication Department (part of the College of Agricultural & Life Sciences) Student & Donor Reception for the presentation of the annual Frank Lessiter Ag Media Scholarship.

Jordan Gaal, a junior from Oconomowoc, Wis., who is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Life Sciences Communication with a concentration in communication strategy, is the 2017 recipient of the Frank Lessiter Ag Media Scholarship.

Would we not be better off to get rid of the terms tillage and no till and talk about soil management?

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the National No-Tillage Conference, the staff of No-Till Farmer displayed a photo gallery at the conference in St. Louis titled “A Walk Through No-Till History.” Editor Frank Lessiter leads us through the gallery, which includes some highlights from the early editions of No-Till Farmer, no-till leaders and influencers, equipment and other products that led to greater adoption of no-till, and testimonials from farmers on how the practice changed their lives.

No-Till Farmer editor Frank Lessiter talks to several National No-Tillage Conference attendees, including the Young family, Ray McCormick and Phil Needham, about their experiences with no-till and the conference.
