A local organization seeks to educate farmers on the benefits no-till farming can have on both the environment and their pocket books.
Soil health and microbiology were both hot topics during day one of the Panhandle No-till Farming winter conference.
Close to 175 farmers met for the two-day conference at the Gering Civic Center.
Chairman of the Panhandle No-till Partnership, Mark Watson says the no-till method helps with ground water savings and soil health. Watson says, "We're able to better utilize our resources...our soil and our water and we can go to a continuous cropping, add diverse crop rotation to our systems and it makes it more profitable overall.
The conference reconvenes tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM kicking off with coffee and donuts with vendors
