VIDEO #3!!!🎉

No-till farming is a sustainable agricultural practice that involves growing crops without disturbing the soil through tillage or turning. Crop residue remains on the surface, helping to prevent erosion, improve soil structure by creating pore space for air and water, increase water infiltration into the soil profile, and keep the soil cooler during hot, sunny days.

Hear directly from farmer, Alex Udermann with Meadowbrook Dairy, as he shares his experience incorporating reduced tillage practices on his farm. Watch the video by using the link or QR code below!
