 No Till News and Information

      Since September 2007 the North Platte NRD has been working cooperatively with Panhandle No Till Education Coordinator Mark Watson of Alliance to help promote the concept and benefits of no tillage farming. Mark has been writing a weekly column that appears in the Scottsbluff Star-Herald's Farm & Ranch section each Sunday as well as other regional newspapers. He is also coordinating and conducting a series of informal No Till meetings to be held throughout the Panhandle in January, February and March 2008 (see schedule below).

      We would like to encourage you to learn more about No Tillage methods. You can contact Mark directly with any questions you might have related to no-till. He'd be happy to visit with you.
