On this episode of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Martin-Till, we’re headed inside the 34th annual National No-Tillage Conference in St. Louis. Both longtime and first-time attendees share some of their biggest takeaways from the conference. We catch up with Jeff Martin from Mt. Pulaski, Ill., during one of the networking breaks for a conversation about how the longtime no-tiller is applying ocean water and more to his crops.

In the Cover Crop Connection, Mackane Vogel goes 1-on-1 with a cover cropper who’s attended every single National No-Tillage Conference!

Later in the episode, we listen in to Austin, Minn., no-tiller Tom Cotter’s presentation as he shares a simple way to measure soil health. Ag tire expert Ken Brodbeck clears up a common misconception about ag tires. And in the Video of the Week, Steve Martin unveils a brand-new product from Martin-Till.
