On this edition of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by CultivAce, No-Till Farmer’s Conservation Ag Operator Fellow, Ray McCormick, showcases how he’s taking conservation ag to the next level in Vincennes, Ind., with ponds, solar panels, duck hunting and more.

In the Cover Crop Connection, agronomist David Kleinschmidt emphasizes the importance of C:N ratios when putting together your cover crop gameplan.

Later in the episode, we catch up with Haxtun, Colo. No-tiller Roy Pfaltzgraff at the Big Soil Health Event. Pfaltzgraff gives us the inside scoop on Seeding Circles, an online community he’s building for farmers.
