Great Plains growers are no stranger to droughts and volatile weather. Some may ask themselves that question frequently while sitting in their tractor or pickup. But could it really happen?
University of Nebraska High Plains Ag Lab farm manager Tom Nightingale says one of the biggest changes he's faced in his four decades of dryland agricultural research was moving from the plow to no-till systems.
A new University of Nebraska-Lincoln office and laboratory will be named in recognition of Charles Fenster, a pioneering UNL researcher in dryland cropping systems.
Yellow field peas provide High Plains no-tillers with an excellent wheat transition crop that helps build soil quality and, with recent market developments, have the potential for profitability.
No-tillers across the Nebraska Panhandle and surrounding High Plains region are challenged by low rainfall and high summer temperatures. It’s a double-whammy that limits cropping intensity, as well as crop value.
Happy Groundhog Day. Jimmy the groundhog from Sun Prairie, Wis., did not see his shadow today. He couldn't come out of his hole because it was buried by snow. Serves him right, since he's obviously not a no-tiller.
For an example of the Australian no-tilling experience, Jeff Esdaile advises a trip to North America’s Great Plains rather than an overseas flight to the land of kangaroos.
