Watching our Partners Share the Value of No-Till with their Peers

Author: Chad Lee

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Grains

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Working with one of our partners in the distillation industry for the past decade, we have discussed no-till, minimum till, crop rotations, soil health and related issues. Within the past year, I have witnessed this partner talk about these concepts with peers in the industry. In addition, this partner is working directly with farmers to help capture the story of the benefits to these practices in our grain cropping systems. This dialogue between the distiller and the farmers was not existent when our conversations first began. Watching those relationships strengthen are excellent for all parties involved. We need to repeat this process with other distilleries and farmers.
