Some amount of compaction is inevitable, even for no-tillers, but there are ways to minimize it by using new technologies developed by the ag tire industry over the past decade.
Regenerative agriculture has many different definitions. Practices such as no-till, cover crops, grazing and other soil health improvement strategies are often placed under different umbrellas of conservation agriculture, sustainable agriculture and several other similar titles.
Climate change, soil erosion and biodiversity loss are major challenges for South African farmers, but a willingness to adopt new conservation practices, such as no-till, will help producers meet growing global food needs. The No-Till Passport Series is brought to you by Martin Industries.
They say history repeats itself—it sure seems that way when it comes to the end of the year and global temperature records. But no-till and cover crops could be part of the solution.
Jackson Stansell, Founder and CEO of Sentinel Fertigation describes his new software platform, N-TIME. A nutrient management platform, N-TIME focuses on nitrogen recommendation for farmers, specifically those applying fertilizer in season. By analyzing multiple sources of satellite imagery, N-TIME isolates the impact nitrogen has on potential yields, tracks nitrogen sufficiency and determines a seven day nitrogen demand for the observed crops.
For this episode of the No-Till Farmer Influencers & Innovators Podcast, brought to you by SOURCE® from Sound Agriculture, University of Nebraska extension engineer Paul Jasa discusses the benefits and economics of no-till, how cover crops and grazing fit with no-till and what he has learned from his 45+ years of no-till research.

Agribrink President Jake Kraayenbrick displayed the Agribrink Tire Pressure Adjustment System at this years Nebraska Ag Expo. Demonstrating the benefits of "on the go" pressure adjustment, Kraayenbrick remarks how the system helps benefit farming operations by reducing tire wear, minimizing soil compaction and lowering fuel consumption.
It is becoming increasingly evident that we endanger our capacity to feed the world by over-assigning feed crops to prime farmland. The priority for this heritage is to grow crops for human edible food, while maintaining or improving soil health and overall ecological integrity.
Nutrient runoff from agricultural production is a significant source of water pollution in the U.S., and climate change that produces extreme weather events is likely to exacerbate the problem. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign looks at how extreme rainfall impacts runoff and suggests possible mitigation strategies.
Each year in early December, World Soil Day is celebrated around the world. To celebrate this annual event, the World Association of Soil and Water Conservation has pulled together a list of 17 soil moisture management concepts that can help you make soil and water a much better source of life.

On this episode of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Martin Till, Vincennes, Ind., no-tiller Ray McCormick explains why it’s going to be tough to “not lose a lot of money this year” on corn. Plus, we ask our readers, “On a scale of 1-10, how concerned are you about drought this year?” Hear why some farmers are worried, and why others aren’t very worried at all.
