*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, Reduced Tillage and
Minimum Tillage are not Conservation Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its
own* (more at: http://www.fao.org/conservation-agriculture).

*ADAM DAHMER*

Farmer, Marion, Ill.

Adam Dahmer doesn’t like to call setbacks he’s experienced with cover crops
in the past as “failures” but as learning opportunities providing knowledge
to move forward. Having the privilege of being raised on a farm that was
100% no-till before he was born, soil health has been the center of
attention for Adam, as he’s worked with cover crops for 20 years.



The Marion, Ill., grower will detail his current approach to cover crop
management on his 1,300-acre farm and how it’s evolved over 20 years, and
goals he’s set for the future with covers as he works to improve the
profitability and sustainability of his no-till system. With the benefit of
a longer-term perspective, Adam will also share some tips and advice for
cover crop newcomers on how to get off to a successful start and get past
early stumbling blocks.
