*Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and land management based on the practical
application of context-specific and locally adapted three interlinked
principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance
(no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with
all other farm operations including harvesting); (ii) permanent
maintenance of soil mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops);
and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally
and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations
involving annuals and/or perennials, including legumes and cover crops),
along with other complementary good agricultural production and land
management practices. Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all
continents, involving rainfed and irrigated systems including annual
cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and plantation systems,
agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, pasture and rangeland
systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems. Conservation
Tillage, Reduced Tillage and Minimum Tillage are not Conservation
Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own* (more at:

Amir,
We are pleased to bring you the next installment of the 2019 National
No-Tillage Conference video series, made possible with the support of Totally
Tubular Mfg.
<http://email.no-tillfarmer.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-h78aq606d2R%5EqrQjNBa>
Cover crops have the potential to do many things for no-tillers, one of the
most important being improved nutrient cycling in no-tilled soils that can
lead to input savings and a healthier bottom line. But many no-tillers are
spending $25-$30 an acre on covers and still spending too much on
fertilizer due to poor nutrient management, says David Brandt.
In his presentation at the 2019 National No-Tillage Conference, "Making
Your Cover Crops Pay Off — Every Day of the Year," the veteran no-tiller
and cover crop expert from Carroll, Ohio, helps no-tillers understand how
they can get more ROI from covers through making the proper adjustments to
their farm’s nutrient program to reduce fertilizer costs without
sacrificing yield. Brandt also shares research data on 25 different corn
hybrids seeded into high-biomass cover crops on his farm to examine
differences in corn emergence, stands and yield.
