*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:

Hello Amir,

available. Listen
to the full episode now >>
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-cmvyba9-9bwnv6hs%7Ce06%7C8EPDqEvTP-Nd>

In this episode, "Make More Green with Covers by Planting Green
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-cmvyba9-9bwnv-hs%7Ce06%7C8EPDqEvTP-Nd>,"
fifth generation farmer Rick Clark from Indiana shares tips on planting
green, a practice he’s been using for the past 8 years.

Clark has been no-tilling soybeans for 15 years, and no-tilling corn and
using cover crops for 10 years.

Find out how Clark started using cover crops, why he does not use treated
seed, fungicide or insecticide, and why data is so critical to good
decision making on the farm.

Thanks for listening,
