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.

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.
