Minnesota Strip-Till Field Day in the Spotlight
KAAL-TV sent the news crew to Rose Creek, Minn., for a strip-till field day. Farmers got an up-close look at the increasingly popular practice as several companies showcased their toolbars. Jodi DeJong-Hughes, regional educator with Univ. of Minnesota extension, gets some camera time in this piece!
Strip-Till Innovator Showcases Soybeans with 30 Nodes
2024 Strip-Till Innovator Chris Perkins checks in from his strip-tilled soybean fields in Otwell, Ind., with an historic look at a soybean plant with 30 nodes! “The fall strip-till beans are making a big push towards the end,” Perkins shares on his @BandedAgLLC X account.
The fall strip till beans are making a big push towards the end. Kind of scared of a big wind or hard rain, need some Lady Luck on my side. Only time will tell, unless you go off my history of soybean failures from the past, lol. Definitely a first time find 30node beans… pic.twitter.com/vva4aAqtNN

Get Paid for Conservation Practices You’re Already Doing
The Precision Conservation Management (PCM) team is helping farmers turn conservation into real ROI — and the best part? It’s free to participate. In fact, some farmers may even get incentives for the conservation practices they’re already doing. From strip-till to no-till to cover crops, PCM can help farmers analyze hands-on data, compare results to peers, find government and private cost-share programs and save on inputs like tillage and chemicals.
Standing Up for Glyphosate & Atrazine
On this episode of the NCGA Cobcast, Lesly McNitt, NCGA VP of public policy, and Becky Langer, NCGA director of inputs and innovation, discuss what the organization is doing to protect important crop treatments like glyphosate and atrazine.
