Friends of the Earth says tillage and rigid organic standards could be part of a regenerative system, but some industry stakeholders believe the group’s new report is mostly inaccurate, ‘radical’
Three No-Till Legends and a longtime Ohio State University soil scientist received an award from the Soil & Water Conservation Society for a paper pointing out the role of tillage in a deadly 90-vehicle pileup in Illinois last year.
Present-day conventional agriculture practices are contributing to climate change, causing major changes in nature’s balance for maintaining our food security.
Several No-Till Legends explore the impacts of tillage on soil health and the future of food production in a new research paper advocating for the adoption of no-till and other conservation agriculture practices.
Could the catastrophic dust storm along I-55 in Illinois in May have been prevented? YES! If the farmland had been in continuous no-till with cover crops, there would have been no dust. No dust. No deaths. No injuries. No crashed vehicles.
No-till innovator and retired USDA soil scientist Don Reicosky says an incident like this should never happen in the Corn Belt, a region containing what he calls “the best soils in the world!"
The article, published in Anthropocene magazine, cites a study published in the journal "Geoderma," and set for release in the journal's November issue. The study has some issues. Perhaps because no-tillers are passionate and proud folks who take their preferred agricultural practices seriously, some of them are hopping mad.
