No-Till Passport

Welcome to No-Till Passport — an exclusive series on the No-Till Farmer website where twice a month, our editorial team shares stories of successful no-till and cover crop practices throughout the world!
 
No-tillers in North America are certainly not just part of a successful movement in their own area, but also part of a world-wide movement as farmers seek out ways to make their operations more profitable, efficient and sustainable. South America, New Zealand and Australia are among the world’s leaders in no-till acreage, and adoption in many other countries is catching up.
 
Please enjoy these success stories, and if you know of any other international no-till success stories, please email them to mvogel@lessitermedia.com.
