The editors and film production team of No-Till Farmer and Strip-Till Farmer, with support of Saddle Butte Ag Bio Till Cover Crops, has announced a first-ever broadcast and podcast program on conservation ag practices. 

With the rapid acceleration toward sustainable farming methods, the all-new Conservation Ag Update is a one-stop-resource that shares the latest tips, stories and resources that farmers will leverage to successfully transition to reduced tillage and cover cropping practices.

The 10-minute episodes air twice a month, and include timely analysis, product innovations, viewer videos/photos, feature stories, and exclusive interviews and tips with veteran farmers and other ag experts. The show is hosted by veteran news broadcaster Noah Newman, technology editor at Strip-Till Farmer.  

The inaugural episode of Conservation Ag Update includes a trip to the farm of renowned no-tiller Tony Peirick as he plants green into a living cereal rye. The longtime no-tiller shares the benefits of planting green and explains the how’s and why’s behind making a comfortable transition into the practice. 

The first episode (available May 5 here) also includes the following segments:

• Cover Crop Connection: Georgia researcher creates new tool to evaluate cover crop incentives
• Ahead of the Curve: John Deere showcases groundbreaking precision technology
• Farmer Feature: Tom Barcellos blazes the trail for strip-till & no-till in California
• Video of the Week: How Ohio no-till expert Les Seiler creatively solved erosion issues
