*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:

No-Tiller Creates Own Roller for Planting Green
<http://email.no-tillfarmer.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-%7CDCaqAdmejD3qvh7boqvDGr2FqA1tl8a>

Hatton, Mo., no-tiller Luke Linnenbringer talks about the roller attachment
he built for his John Deere 7300 planter to flatten cereal rye at planting.
Linenbringer rolls, plants, sprays herbicides and applies fertilizer all in
one pass. “I’ve had conventional soybeans that I’ve not gone back to check
until harvest. It’s a two-pass system,” he says.

Reports of Dicamba Damage Higher than Last Year
<http://email.no-tillfarmer.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-%7CDCaqAdmejD4avh7boqvDGr2FqA1tl8a>

Up until last week, dicamba-related complaints in Illinois were minimal for
2019. A recent uptick in complaints, however, dashed any hope that
off-target issues would be less this year than during the previous two
growing seasons, according to the University of Illinois.
*NO-TILL NEWS*

Plant Cover Crops ASAP
<http://email.no-tillfarmer.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-%7CDCaqAdmejD4qvh7boqvDGr2FqA1tl8a>

Cover crops are an important component of any cropping system. Planting
them immediately after silage or grain harvest is key to success, according
to researchers at Penn State University.
