"My No-Till Journey" blog: Kalispell, Mont., grower Doug Manning shares his journey to implementing no-till on his farm.

In midsummer, retired Ohio State University ag engineer Randall Reeder met with a group of Western Australian no-till farmers that were looking at U.S. agriculture.

Choosing your crop insurance contract for 2015 just got more complicated with the addition of the Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO), a county-level insurance program available through the 2014 farm bill. SCO will be available in select counties this fall for 2015 wheat and in more counties in early 2015 for spring-planted crops. SCO works in conjunction with a producer's individual crop insurance policy and is purchased through a crop insurance agent.

Dan Coffin, certified professional agronomist and consultant with Soil & Plant Nutritional Concepts, helps no-tillers understand the factors that may be hindering their efforts to breakdown residue efficiently and offer up techniques and practices to gain all the benefits available from crop residue.
