*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:

The only editor of *No-Till Farmer* since its first edition in 1972, *Frank
Lessiter* has been dubbed the "Johnny Appleseed of conservation tillage"
for providing the only independent vehicle for growers to learn from one
another about the do's and don'ts of no-till farming.

Today, Lessiter is the chairman and editorial director of Lessiter Media,
Inc., an agricultural-based media company he and his wife Pam founded in
Brookfield, Wis., in 1981. He has been recognized by numerous organizations
for the adoption of conservation tillage in the U.S.
