Iowa?s NRCS promoting ?No-Till November? movement

Farmers are always looking for better ways to do their job. They rely on the quality of the air, water, and soil to grow our nation?s food supply. No-till is one of those methods. The Iowa NRCS has been hitting social media with their ?No-Till November? message. Humboldt County NRCS Soil Conservation Technician Doug Adams tells us about the idea behind it.

Adams says no-till allows for a better habitat for the microbes and earthworms to break down the residue.

Adams tells farmers the wet and late harvest season offers a great opportunity for farmers to give no-till a try.

For more information on no-till practices, visit your local county NRCS office.
