On this episode of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, we head inside the Watershed Protection Committee of Racine County’s annual field day in Rochester, Wis., for a look at the latest takeaways from their no-till vs. conventional research plots. A ‘slake test’ reveals eye-opening differences between no-till and conventional soils, and independent research agronomist Jim Stute shares his big economic takeaway from the test plots.
In the Cover Crop Connection, associate editor Mackane Vogel gets the scoop on a new Great Plains drill for no-tilling fall cover crops.
Later in the episode, we stop by Tanner Schoff’s farm in Walnut, Ill., to check out the "Rezidue Reaper" combine attachment he invented to manage heavy residue in his no-till and strip-till system.
Plus, Cody Boeck from Boeck Farm Outfitters explains how Greeneye Technology is helping Corn Belt farmers slash herbicide costs. In the Video of the Week, Jason Webster shares why banding has the advantage over broadcasting at Precision Planting’s PTI Research Farm. Finally, No-Till Innovator Mike Starkey delivers a special message about a “can’t miss” no-till event coming up.
