Ohio no-till field day
With the water quality issues around Lake Erie this summer, the Ohio no-till summer field day on September 9 will have an added emphasis on cover crops to help farmers address water quality and nutrient management issues.
“The field day is designed around all of it, everything about no-till, because there are a lot of guys who have been no-tilling for years, but haven’t been doing cover crops,” said John Buck who will host the no-till field day on his farm in western Marion County. “We’re finding nitrogen and other benefits that are there from putting cover crops out.”
Buck, who has been using 100% no-till for the past 15 years will also share his experiences and what it no-till has meant to his farm.
“I’ve got a farm, believe it or not, here in Marion County that’s considered highly erodible land, and that’s what got me started into no-till,” Buck said. “We’ve seen the practices really work, from soil erosion control having a cover crop out there.”
