Let’s kick things off with some new economic data from the Precision Conservation Management program in Illinois. They’re comparing all the field passes in no-till, strip-till and multi-pass systems to see which one gives farmers the most bang for their buck.

A new study from Iowa State University sheds light on the evolving landscape of agricultural conservation in Iowa.

Speaking of that, in our Video of the Week, No-Till Legend Ray McCormick shares a valuable piece of information he picked up at the conference a few years ago that influenced how he seeds cover crops with the combine.

Michigan farmers have found creative ways to get cover crops in earlier. Here are some interseeding tips we have learned from trial (and some error).

Strip-Till Farmer pays a visit to Basse's Farms in Colgate, Wis., for a look at how strip-till and cover crops are proving to be a winning combination for the pumpkin growers.

Whether growers are just looking to tweak their no-till operation or planning for big changes, there will be something for nearly everyone at the 33^rd annual National No-Tillage Conference that kicks off in January. The full program has been released for the 2025 conference, which is scheduled for Jan. 7-10 in at the Marriott Downtown in Louisville, Ky.
