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.
Sixty years of crop diversification with perennials improves yields more than no-tillage in Ohio grain cropping systems

Long-term continuous no-till corn-soybean systems: Examining soil carbon sequestration and nitrogen accumulation across various pools
Assessing the agricultural, environmental, and economic effects of crop diversity management: A comprehensive review on crop rotation and cover crop practices
Cover Crops Optimize Soil Fertility and Soybean Productivity in the Cerrado of MATOPIBA, Brazil
Short-term no-tillage improves soil water retention and maintains soil aeration at high moisture conditions despite reduced macroporosity

A few weeks ago at the National No-Tillage Conference in St. Louis, I sat down with Wayne Honeycutt, founding president and CEO of the Soil Health Institute, as well as Shannon Moeller and Odiney Alvarez-Campos, two soil health educators with the Soil Health Institute.
The Agricultural Communicators Network (ACN) recently released its 2026 ACN Book List, which features No-Till Farmer's Frankly Speaking book as a must-read by fellow ag communicators.
Iran has crossed an important threshold. Conservation agriculture is no longer viewed as an imported idea or a pilot project, but it is increasingly recognized as a national response to water scarcity, soil degradation, and climate stress.
