Reducing tillage is not only good for your land, it can help your bottom line. Less passes in the field means less money spent on diesel and more time to manage other aspects of your farm. Use our free energy estimator tool this No-Till November to see how much reducing your tillage could save you in fuel costs. https://ecat.sc.egov.usda.gov/.

When early pioneers first crossed the American Midwest, they encountered a vast, unbroken ocean of grass that stretched from Canada all the way down to Texas. Today, it is an endangered ecosystem; less than 4% of the original tallgrass prairie remains in North America. The true magic of this landscape wasn't visible above the ground, but hidden beneath it. To survive brutal seasonal droughts, freezing winters, and sweeping wildfires, its grasses once sent thick, complex root systems more than 10 feet into the soil. Over thousands of years, as these massive root networks naturally died off and regenerated, they deposited immense amounts of organic carbon deep underground. This relentless biological cycle is exactly why Midwest topsoil is so incredibly deep, black, and nutrient-dense today. Ironically, the very soil these native grasses built was the cause of their demise. The invention of the steel plow allowed settlers to rip up the deep-rooted prairie to plant shallow-rooted commodity crops like corn and wheat, transforming the world's most resilient ecosystem into commercial farmland while erasing the native habitat forever.
