To all,

I assume most of you are aware that the "New York Times" is one of the
largest newspapers in the US. A few days ago, they had a front-page article
entitled "Cover Crops, a Farming Revolution with Deep Roots in the Past."
written by Stephanie Strom.  While the title indicates that the emphasis
was on cover crops, the title could have easily included conservation
agriculture or soil health in the title included discussions on no till and
diverse rotations. We need more articles like this in the popular press..

The links to the above article, +2 other articles related to conservation
agriculture are listed below for your information and review. While the
articles are about large farmers, they show economic and environmental
benefits of many aspects of conservation agriculture and soil health.

Don
