 13th Annual
No-till On The Plains
Winter Conference January
27-28, 2009
The 13th annual No-till on the Plains Winter Conference has
evolved into the most respected “continuous No-till” conference and trade
show of its type in North America.
At the 2009 Winter Conference, you will have the opportunity to visit with
other No-tillers from various regions. This year, about one dozen
“producer speakers” -- each in a different stage of continuous No-till (CNT)
with a variety of unique conditions – will offer presentations. In
addition, another dozen No-tillage experts – some of the world's foremost
authorities in No-tillage systems, will engage the c rowd.
These
experts are the most knowledgeable No-till aficianoadoes, and growers will
have the opportunity to ask questions, share trade secrets and interact
with other attendees, participants and presenters.
Many folks question
“why continuous no-till?” No-till on the Plains promotes solely
continuous no-tillage because all data points to this practice as the most
profitable cropping system in production agriculture. Continuous
no-tillage is a system that includes the use of diverse rotations and
cover crops, where soil disturbance is kept to an absolute minimum. Using
this system ensures agronomic, economic and environmental benefits. For
that reason, each year No-till on the Plains assembles the premier
speakers from local areas as well as from around the world.
Another question
that we often receive is, “what can I learn from a speaker from another
region? No one has soils and conditions like here on my farm.” Yet one
of the most important points we stress to attendees is to take what you
hear and apply it in your own way on your own farm. You won’t get a
“cookie-cutter” approach to no-till at our conference – nor should you
ever want one. You must work within your management skills, your
equipment and your environment.
