Hi Amir:
The following two videos may be of interest to CA-CoP subscribers.
The first is about how a dairy farmer in southeastern Pennsylvania employs
no-till annuals in his rotation for grazing during the summer while
reducing costs and improving soil health.

dairy-farms-with-no-till-annuals
The second is about how a farmer in northwestern Pennsylvania employs plant
and animal diversity in his no-tillage system to improve soil health and
productivity while reducing inputs.
