In fact, bans of certain herbicides by some European countries and food industry giants could be harbingers for what no-tillers will face in the future as crop production faces increased scrutiny, says Steve Groff. The longtime Holtwood, Pa., no-tiller and cover crop producer will go over some alternative weed control strategies he’s seen in the field, including using cover crops and roller-crimpers, as well as other mechanical innovations, that can help growers extend the life of the herbicides on their farm and improve their effectiveness. *And Don't Miss Groff's Classroom Session* *Top Tips for Succeeding with No-Tilled Hemp* [image: Alternate text] The hemp industry has been booming in the U.S. and has long-term promise as an alternative crop. But hemp is a lot different than traditional row crops and there’s a learning curve when it comes to seeding practices, genetics, harvest methods or dealing with the legal requirements, says Steve Groff. Groff will share his experiences raising hemp for the CBD market and provide attendees with an understanding of what’s required to break into this market, the equipment and fertility requirements, and what mistakes to avoid. He’ll also how cover crops can be incorporated with hemp plants to facilitate soil health and provide nutrients for optimal growth. *Learn More* <https://lessiter.omeclk.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-cvF6baB2VbBASmjfb%7CPDf0kPxk-jwPNTc> *See The Full Lineup of Speakers and Sessions* View the complete lineup of speakers and presentation topics that will be featured at the 2021 National No-Tillage Conference, to be held at the Indianapolis Downtown Marriott in Indianapolis, Ind., January 12-15, 2021 [image: Image] <https://lessiter.omeclk.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-cvF6baB2VbBAS%5Ejfb%7CPDf0kPxk-jwPNTc> *You don't want to miss this!
