Each month, the conservation ag group at Cornell University offers an analysis of the latest scientific papers dealing with conservation agriculture research from around the world. For this on-going web series, our editors will be selecting several research papers from the Cornell list that will be of special interest to North American no-tillers, strip-tillers and cover croppers.
Obviously this goes against many of the concepts we emphasize in No-Till Farmer, but I was interested in understanding the “why” behind this no-till farmer’s decision to plow again on heavy soils.

Wayne Volkl, co-owner of SWJ Consulting, says no-tillers need to focus on fungi, the most efficient piece of the biological puzzle, when building their soil biology.
Understanding how carbon moves through the soil and how long it stays there could have huge implications for estimating the true environmental value of carbon credits.
