No-Till Breakthroughs & Lessons Learned from Cotton Country

A longtime Univ. of Tennessee agronomist, John Bradley served for 14 years as head of the Milan Ag Experiment Station, where he directed the annual Milan No-Till Field Day that attracted tens of thousands of farmers to see the latest innovations in no-till research. Among the pioneers working with no-till cotton, Bradley has shown thousands of farmers how to earn large payoffs with a wide variety of no-tilled crops. The No-Till Innovator and Legend returns to NNTC to discuss how new technologies and practices are enhancing no-till cotton production, and to explore how crop rotation, residue and cover crops are managed in no-till fields everywhere.
