No-Tillage Presentation to Extremely Large US Farm Consortium

Author: Chad Lee

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Grains

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

A very large farming consortium in the United States is interested in implementing more no-tillage practices in their farms. These farms span the United States are well in excess of 100,000 acres. Dan Quinn, Hanna Poffenbarger and I presented on the various successes and challenges with no-tillage farming. There were about 30 people present on the Microsoft Teams conference. This is a long-term impact because of the decades of no-tillage research and extension at the University of Kentucky. Is is a short-term outcome because we may have the opportunity to help more farmers and farms convert to no-tillage and conservation tillage in the United States.
