Dear Subscribers,
Please see herebelow a short video of the work done on no-till and cover
crops in Pennsylvania.
Thank you Prof Sjoerd Duiker for sharing.

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 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 and Minimum Tillage
are not Conservation Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own (more at:
www.fao.org/ag/ca).

Hello Colleagues:
A little video clip of some of the work we’ve been doing here in
Pennsylvania with no-till and cover crops. It was bitterly cold the day
they recorded it but it came out reasonably well.

*New Video: Improving Soil Through Cover Crops*
Like many farmers, Jeff Frey sees the soil as his livelihood, so he does
what he can to protect and improve this vital resource beneath his feet. "I
remember one afternoon we had a thunderstorm that washed mud out into the
road and I could actually see some of my freshly planted soybeans in with
the mud," says Frey, who raises grains on 700 acres in Lancaster County,
Penn. "I've been no-tilling for a long time but at that point I knew that
what I was doing was not adequate."
In this new video

, see how Frey's experience prompted him to begin planting cover crops and
how, after seeing the benefits, he partnered with a Penn State professor on
a SARE-funded project to convince other farmers they should do the same.
