No-Till Farmer editors encounter a variety of articles, social media posts, podcasts and videos that offer a unique look at the grower's realm from the lofty digital realm. Here is our favorite content from the past week from across the web.
The number of insect species on your farm directly correlates with profits, according to Ecdysis Foundation director, Jonathan Lundgren. This idea of increasing insect life to benefit agricultural operations is paying off for producer Bryan Jorgensen, partner and chief agronomy operations officer at Jorgensen Land & Cattle, says the South Dakota Soil Health Coalition.
AT 29 YEARS OF AGE, Nick Jorgensen has never operated any tillage equipment. Inspired by the native prairie system in south central South Dakota, his family began implementing no-till practices in the 1980s that are now helping them dramatically trim costs.
Ideal, S.D., no-tillers Nick and Bryan Jorgensen discuss how they’ve built up organic matter levels over the years Jorgensen Land & Cattle, and how that relates to nutrient availability for their crops and their operation’s overall bottom line.
Bryan Jorgensen discusses how long he’s been able to cut application of dry phosphorus (P) to the soil surface and what’s happened to soil-test P levels since his family's Jorgensen Land & Cattle operation went 100% no-till in 1991.
Nick and Bryan Jorgensen discuss how much money per acre they’ve saved on fertilizer by relying on a diverse rotation, no-till practices, cover crops and livestock integration as they try as far as possible to imitate some of the processes on the Native Prairie.
Our 23rd annual National No-Tillage Conference has come and gone, and as a second-time attendee I’m still overwhelmed by the amount of no-till research, insights and information that were presented last week.
