Scout During Harvest To Improve No-Till Benchmarks

Checking no-tilled fields during and after harvest will provide insights into stands, hybrid performance, yield limitations and equipment issues

By Jim Leverich posted on October 1, 2014 | Posted in Precision Agriculture, Residue Management, Seeding & Planting

When it's harvest time, we often get caught up in a flurry of activity. But it's worth the time for no-tillers - especially after the wet planting season last spring — to see what you can learn by scouting your fields during harvest.

Getting More Effective, Cost-Efficient Lime Applications

Soil tests, choosing the right lime and understanding soil variability can help no-tillers achieve the right pH levels and boost crop growth.

For more than a decade now, no-tillers have been using precision ag and harvesting lots of data to use for making better farm-management decisions.

No-Tilling Is No Remedy For A Shortage Of Moisture

While finding ways to save moisture in a drought is important, the real benefits of no-till are most apparent with normal weather conditions.

By Frank Lessiter posted on November 1, 2012 | Posted in Water Management

Most no-tillers will agree that no-till saved considerable moisture last summer when compared to their neighbors using more intensive tillage systems. For many, the extra moisture resulted in higher yields and income in a growing season that was far from ideal.

Creating a New No-Till Management Style

As precision farming technology advances, no-tillers who fine tune their management style will keep the competitive edge.

Most people who meet Doug Harford are so impressed with his precision farming knowledge, they assume he holds a doctorate in agricultural engineering.
