Congratulations to Tuscola County, Mich., farmer Tom Hess who recently celebrated his 40-year no-till anniversary. Hess started no-tilling in 1984 to solve his erosion problems and never looked back. His big focus now is feeding the livestock in the ground because that soil life does all his tillage, he says. I paid a visit to Tom’s farm in early May for a look at one of his long-term no-till fields.
Tuscola County, Mich., no-tiller Tom Hess always has one eye on the future. He has never shied away from thinking outside the box either, dating back to his days at Michigan State.
