As harvest wraps up this November, farmers are encouraged to keep the stubble on. But it’s not about shaving, it’s for No Tillage November. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is encouraging farmers to try out no-till on their crop fields.
The campaign wants farmers to keep tillage equipment in the machine shed and is mirrored after the cancer awareness No Shave November campaign.
The NRCS says practicing no-till can improve soil health, increase biological activity, control erosion, and give crops nutrient benefits.
