Buckley told No-Till Farmer Tuesday he will continue pushing to modernize the tools farmers have available through the NRCS and ensure the agency “gets back to basics” helping them succeed with their conservation goals. 

This Week's Lineup:

• No-Till Farming is Better
• No-Till History from 90+ Years Ago…
• Reduced Field Passes Help Farmers Save Fuel and Cut Expenses
• Constructing Water and Sediment Basins to Control Erosion 
• Webinar Covers Soil Organic Matter & Cover Crops

The projects supported by the 12 grants announced  will hire or support field professionals to provide training to private landowners, equipping them with the tools needed to conserve, maintain, and restore natural resources on their lands, implement sound management practices, and access financial assistance through Farm Bill conservation programs. 

What does what “regenerative agriculture” really mean? Everyone has an opinion. Googling it provides endless nuances. It’s another example, in my humble opinion, of how buzzwords sometimes stifle progress rather than promote it.

Taxpayers spent hundreds of millions of dollars for “ancient” technical architecture with 500 different custom-built system and databases managed by over 1,000 different contractors that cost more than $1 billion.
