When it comes to adopting no-till and cover crops, data from a recent Iowa State University survey shows significant differences between owned and rented cropland.

Long-time Purdue University agricultural economist Howard Doster passed away on February 13, 2020, at his home in Waynesville, Ohio. The 86-year-old Ohio State University graduate believed passionately in both the environmental and economic benefits of no-tilling for Midwestern growers.

New legislation addresses last winter's dust storms that led to wind erosion and health concerns among New York residents living in eastern Long Island.

As it did for many corn growers in 2019, the late planting season hit home with Fred Below as many of his research plots didn't get planted until after June 1. And he's convinced delayed planting can easily cost a grower 15-20% of their potential yield. So what should a grower do to protect yields when faced with a weather-stressed late planting situation?

Drive as far as you can along the 120-mile southern shore of New York's Long Island and you'll arrive in the Hamptons. The exclusive high-style living area with its multi-million dollar mansions is where Big Apple's elite spend their weekends and summer vacations. So what does this have to do with no-till?

For years, growers in northwest Ohio have battled claims that farm runoff of phosphorus (P) is the cause of the extensive algae blooms that develop most years during the summer months in western Lake Erie.

Whether it's finding a new way to boost yields, apply variable rate nutrients, trim seed and chemical costs, control weeds or check out novel farm machinery ideas, no-tillers are always ready to try something new if it makes sense in their operations.
