Cover Crops & Strip-Till Part of 200-Bushel Soybean Recipe

On this episode of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Martin-Till, Smithville, Ga., strip-tiller and cover cropper Alex Harrell shares the main takeaway from his record-breaking 218-bushel soybean yield.

We also head out to the Arlington Research Farm in Madison, Wis., where research assistant Logan Barr shows how mustard can help draw out earthworms.

In the Cover Crop Connection, associate editor Mackane Vogel catches up with the father of biological farming, Gary Zimmer.

Later in the episode, longtime agronomist and AGuru Machinery founder Bill Preller shares his no-till origin story during a special moment at the 2024 National Strip-Tillage Conference. And in the Video of the Week, we head inside No-Till Farmer editor Frank Lessiter’s office for a special moment for the “Johnny Appleseed” of no-tillage.
