The numbers are in for No-Till Farmer’s 5th annual No-Till Benchmark Study, and editors here have uncovered some interesting findings while crunching the numbers.

After spending many years, or even decades, building a successful no-till operation, have you ever wanted a chance to tell your story? Well, here’s a golden opportunity.

While traveling to the Iowa OnFarm Network Conference last month I found two more testimonials to the benefits of conservation tillage, and the need to show some patience in the transition period.

A no-tiller from Iowa once told me his biggest frustration wasn’t necessarily dealing with residue, controlling weeds or getting a good stand. It was the fact that he couldn’t convert his neighboring farmer to no-till.

There were lots of things I expected to see during last Sunday’s Super Bowl, including hyped-to-the-max pop culture. But I also heard something meaningful that pertained to farming.

You never know when ‘doing your job’ might affect someone deeply. But that’s what happened when former Purdue University ag economist and land owner Howard Doster opened the Jan. 9 edition of No-Till Farmer E-Tip and saw Kentucky no-tiller John Young and his son, Alexander, were going to speak during the first session at the 21st annual National No-Tillage Conference.

The Budget rental truck has been unloaded, hundreds of bags have been stuffed and stacked, and today No-Till Farmer kicks off what will likely be another record-breaking National No-Tillage Conference at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Indianapolis.
