No-Till, Strip-Till and Cover Crops Research Journal - February 2026

Each month, the conservation ag group at Cornell University offers an analysis of the latest scientific papers dealing with conservation agriculture research from around the world. For this on-going web series, our editors will be selecting several research papers from the Cornell list that will be of special interest to North American no-tillers, strip-tillers and cover croppers.

In this edition:

  • Can no-tillage and crop diversification sustain nutrient stocks in acidic and poorly-fertilized soils? Evidence from 32 years of real-world agricultural management in Paraguay.
  • The key role of local and global farmer networks in the development of conservation agriculture in California.
  • Mega-analysis of no-tillage and reduced tillage impacts on crop yields and greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Beyond the buzz: analyzing actors promoting regenerative agriculture in Europe.

Cultural Shift: Putting Strip-Till to Work on the West Coast

"Reduce the volume of soil disturbed.” That was the powerful and prophetic piece of advice that I received back in 2002 from Don Reicosky, the legendary USDA ARS soil scientist from Morris, Minn., when I dropped him off at the Sacramento, Calif., airport after we had hosted him in California to help us get started with reduced disturbance production techniques.
