Improving soil health with a no-till system

October 24, 2024

Could no-till improve the profitability of your cropping system?

Walk through both the benefits and common reservations for implementing a no-till system with O’Brien County farmer Cory VanderPloeg and Iowa Soybean Association Conservation Agronomist Ryan Johnson. They discuss how a reduced tillage or no-till system can save on equipment costs and improve soil health through erosion control and increased water infiltration. Explore solutions to mitigate common no-till concerns, including compaction and nutrient management. Determine if the benefits of a no-till system match the needs of your farm in this episode of Pods of Potential.  

The Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network presents Pods of Potential with host Andy Petersen. Powered by the Iowa Soybean Association and the soybean checkoff, Pods of Potential delivers data-driven research and results to help Iowa’s soybean farmers maximize productivity, profitability, and sustainability.
