If you are not currently subscribed to the No-Till Farmer Email Discussion Group, I strongly encourage you to check it out and join in on the discussion. 

Just this week, I asked a question about cover crop seeding methods. I am wondering what equipment and technology are being used on different farms all over the globe. The responses have already started to pour in and I am looking forward to learning about even more innovative equipment and seeding methods being used. 

My question — and the responses that come from it — are going tom be used for a story about cover crop seeding methods. But more than than, the responses might spark an idea for a farmer who hadn't considering doing something in that way until another farmer described it in the discussion thread. This is precisely the reason I'd encourage everyone to share this email group with their friends and neighbors, and to take 5-10 minutes to answer the question and hit send. 

Your next great idea might be something that has already been working for another farmer for decades — you've just haven't thought of it yet and you won't unless you're on the email thread. So what are you waiting for, go join the group today. And feel free to ask your own questions there as well. What's more helpful than hundreds of like-minded farmers in the same group just waiting to share their knowledge with each other?
