Going ‘Underground’

By Frank Lessiter posted on January 1, 2013

Today just happens to be one of my favorite days of the year. Why is that, I hear you ask?

What I've Learned from No-Tilling

That’s the message I delivered last winter to attendees at the 2005 National No-Tillage Conference just a few days after I retired from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. And it’s the message I would like to expand upon as a private consultant: It’s time for the no-till community to aim higher.
