After graduating from Purdue University in 1985 with a degree in agricultural economics, Matt Sheafer’s first job was with a farm management company in Ohio.
On 500 acres, Matt Sheafer’s Indiana farm is a virtual laboratory of experiments with seeding and maturity rates, nutrient management and crop orientations.
Most farmers like to experiment — whether it’s with seed varieties, equipment setups, nutrient management or other variables — but few no-tillers can say that all of their acres are in some form of an experiment during any one growing season.
No-tillers honored as Responsible Nutrient Management Practitioners share how data management, cover crops, split applications and tissue testing helped them increase yields more efficiently.
Three innovative no-till farm operations were recognized by the Responsible Nutrient Management Foundation during the National No-Tillage Conference in Springfield, Ill.
Dean Glenney’s 18 years of no-tilling attracted beneficial bacteria and increased his supply of ‘free’ fertilizer, creating record-breaking no-till corn yields in Ontario.
