I tried no-till because of the potential savings I saw, but it’s brought us so much more. Making the switch to no-till has allowed us to raise three high-quality forage crops per year on the 270 acres we intensively farm in the San Joaquin Valley.

The steady growth of no-till farming in the Chesapeake Bay areas of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia has become a classic example of putting conservation farming methods to work to help save a major natural resource.

Change is the only thing that stays the same in our no-till operation. That old saying describes our strip-till system perfectly.

Though Cedar Meadows Farm in Holtwood, Pa., may be small in size, it's got plenty of innovative solutions when it comes to no-till equipment.
