*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:

Lewis Krueger, CEO of Cross Slot No-Till Systems in Appleton, Wis., talks
about the unique seed delivery mechanism of the Cross Slot drill, how the
gangs can be raised and lowered for different row spacing options, and some
design and production changes that are in the works now that these machines
are being made in the U.S.

It's hard enough to succeed in farming without having to hold back the
voices of all the environmental critics. Let's face it, fair or not,
agriculture is an easy target. And sadly, many growers who are taking great
pains to handle their nutrient program responsibly get far less press than
those who create and invite criticism.

Crop Progress Remains Behind Schedule, Small Decline in Crop Conditions
<https://lessiter.omeclk.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-j3-aqD72evTwaw%5E3sAavDGr2FqA1tl8a>

Following the Oct. 7, 2019, USDA Crop Progress report, crops still remains
significantly behind schedule. Additionally, corn and soybean saw some
small decreases in their reported “good” and “excellent” crop conditions.

*Unlock the Potential of Soil Biology. Pick Up Your Copy of ‘Supercharging
Soil Biology for Better No-Till Productivity.’*
<https://lessiter.omeclk.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-j3-aqD72evTwqw%5E3sAavDGr2FqA1tl8a>
— As a no-tiller, you recognize that the billions of microbes living
underground in your fields are continually improving soil quality by
cycling nutrients and turning residue into organic matter. There’s lots of
talk about soil health, but effective no-tillers have a deeper appreciation
of what it means for soil management. That’s why the editors of *No-Till
Farmer* released a new report, *Supercharging Soil Biology for Better
No-Till Productivity*. The information in this report can help no-tillers
truly unlock the potential of soil biology or help build a path to doing
it. Get your own copy here »
