Balancing the Soil & Plant for Higher No-Till Yields
Western Iowa no-tiller Kelly Garrett’s focus on soil conservation, sustainability and innovation has led to multiple first-place finishes in the NCGA High Yield Contest. Garrett is also the first farmer in the U.S. to sell carbon credits to a corporate buyer, and is a Field to Market Farmer of the Year. The 6th-generation farmer details the money-making principles behind his 100% no-till system and explains why “balancing the soil” is the no. 1 priority on his 7,000-acre farm — and should be for you as well.
