Producers, this is your opportunity to listen to one of the great minds of No-till, Rolf Derpsch, as he shares vital data: “Farmers that practice the No-tillage system can reduce the investment in machinery by 39% and the power of tractors by 75%. Fuel savings in this system amount to 84%, thus contributing to reduce fossil fuel consumption and reducing CO2 emissions” (Teebrügge and Böhrnsen, 1997). No-till on the Plains is proud to provide speakers with the background, experience, and limitless energy to give you a definite edge. Take advantage of their practical and comprehensive knowledge and real-life experience. Exceptional interaction and innovation is guaranteed! Materials and lunch are included in registration. |
