“When you add covers and no-till, the benefits and positive changes — they’re not going to happen overnight. But when you get there, you’ll be glad you’re there.”
— Doug Fifer, No-Tiller, Mount Solon, Va.
For this episode of the Cover Crop Strategies Podcast, brought to you by Sound Agriculture, listen to a conversation with Doug Fifer, Virginia no-tiller and president of the Virginia No-Till Alliance (VANTAGE).
Fifer reflects on how his soil has changed for the better since implementing cover crops and no-till into his operation back in 2011 and what types of cover crop trials he plans to experiment with during the upcoming 2025 growing season.
