On this episode of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, we’re headed inside CTIC’s Conservation in Action Tour in Sioux Falls, S.D., where a pair of conservation ag legends were inducted into the CTIC Hall of Fame. Dwayne Beck, Dakota Lakes Farm Research Manager, and Jay Brandt, son of the late no-till legend David Brandt, explain how they’re continuing to blaze the trail for conservation ag.

In the Cover Crop Connection, associate editor Mackane Vogel pays a visit to the Brandt family farm in Carroll, Ohio, where David Brandt’s grandson, Christopher, shows how he’s bringing his own flavor to their cover cropping approach.

Plus, we swing by the historic no-till plot at Wooster, Ohio, which is the longest continuously managed no-till plot on the planet. Ohio State’s Manbir Rakkar and Warren Dick share their biggest takeaways from the historic field.

Moundridge, Kan., Strip-Till Innovator Ray Flickner details his crop rotation and shows us how his strip-tilled corn is holding up in dry conditions so far.

Finally, Daniel H. Smith, nutrient and pest management program manager for the Univ. of Wisconsin, breaks down a 6-year study exploring a systems-based approach to weed management using cereal rye in corn-soybean rotations.
