*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:

Just off the coast of Louisiana and Texas where the Mississippi River
empties, the ocean is dying. The cyclical event known as the dead zone
occurs every year, but scientists predict that this year's could be one of
the largest in recorded history.  READ MORE

Feedstuffs
A forage shortage looms as feed inventories were greatly diminished with
the excessive flooding earlier this spring and corn acres may not get
planted this summer. Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-South Dakota, and Angie Craig,
D-Minnesota, introduced the bipartisan Feed Emergency Enhancement During
Disasters Act (FEEDD Act). The FEEDD Act will provide farmers and ranchers
additional emergency flexibility to help alleviate feed shortages during
planting seasons with high levels of prevent plant due to extreme moisture
or drought.  READ MORE

Star
Tribune
As public works director for the city of Hastings, Nick Egger knows the
cost of protecting drinking water from farm chemicals. The Mississippi
River town already had to foot the bill for one $3 million water-treatment
plant to remove nitrate from its drinking supply, and it has two more wells
polluted by the fertilizer byproduct. But city officials like him have had
no authority to change local farming practices, Egger said, other than to
"ask politely." Now, with a landmark state regulation of nitrogen
fertilizer set to take effect, he's hoping he'll finally get help.  READ

While Rick Clark produces non-GMO corn and alfalfa for Dannon, as well as
profitable cash crops, including non-GMO soybeans for a Cargill facility in
Lafayette, Indiana, he does much more than that: he has also developed a
unique system for building soil health. Across his property, Clark uses
regenerative practices including diverse crop rotations, no-till methods
and cover cropping, and he is striving toward the tough task of combining
no-till practices with organic certification.  READ MORE

No-Till
Farmer
Producers rely on grazing native, tame perennial pastures or stockpiled
forages to typically feed their cattle. Annual diverse forage mixtures give
producers an opportunity to provide high quality feed while also gaining
additional benefits for the soil and ecosystem. Polycultures could even be
integrated into a crop rotation or used as green manure (working it into
the soil to improve soil productivity), giving farmers another alternative
for soil and nutrient management.  READ MORE

Science
The intention of creating protected natural areas is to protect them in the
long term from destructive human activities. Governments do not always
follow these intentions, however, and often legally remove protections and
reduce the extent of protected areas. Golden Kroner et al. looked across
the United States and Amazonia over the past 200 years and found more than
700 such changes; two-thirds of which have occurred since the year 2000.  READ

Last September, FoodShot Global, a collaborative capital investment
platform, asked entrepreneurs, researchers, and advocates to submit their
business, research or policy proposals for the Innovating Soil 3.0
Challenge. The goal of the challenge was to identify the breakthrough
research, game-changing technologies, and innovative business models that
can shift agriculture to a soil operating system that will support the
planet. FoodShot Global explained that the winners are providing
technological or ecological tools that enable farmers to maximize yield and
help improve the long-term health of the land.  READ MORE

Ag Today
According to a recent survey, Indiana farmers planted more than 1 million
acres of cover crops in 2018, up 32,000 acres from the previous year. Cover
crops are known for their environmental benefits and, with the exception of
corn and soybeans, are planted on more acres than any other commodity crop
in Indiana. They are typically planted in the fall after harvest and
designed to keep roots in the ground throughout the winter, which improves
soil health and helps filter water off of the farm.  READ MORE

National
Geographic
National Geographic paid a visit recently to Edward O. Wilson, one of the
great figures in biology and conservation of this, or any, century. Wilson,
who turned 90 on June 10, sat in the plant-filled conservatory at his
retirement community outside of Boston and reflected on three-quarters of a
century of insights into the astounding diversity of species on Earth, the
mounting troubles at the intersection of nature and human nature, and
strategies for saving wild things and, in so doing, saving ourselves.  READ
