Points North No-till Bus Tour set Aug. 25 to 28Kansas No-till on the Plains, Inc., the premier no-till organization of the Midwest, is planning a top-quality educational bus tour in late-August to see the "best of the best" in continuous no-tillage. The power-packed hands-on learning opportunity will feature expert speakers as well as experienced continuous no-tillers in the Plains region. The Points North No-till Bus Tour will take place Aug. 25 to 28 with two available pick-up and departure locations including Manhattan and Salina, Kan. This tour is a wonderful chance to candidly discuss production practices and management challenges with people committed to long-term success with no-till and to meet fellow no-tillers in various stages of no-till adoption. The air-conditioned motor coach tour features a spectrum of soils and climates, some of which are similar to attendees' regions. Several excellent Nebraska and South Dakota stops will be made that feature equipment and cropland as well as the always popular Dakota Lakes Research Farm at Pierre, S.D., with Dr. Dwayne Beck and Rogers Memorial Farm with Paul Jasa of the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Dr. Ray Ward of Ward Labs at Kearney, Neb., will accompany the tour and share his great knowledge of continuous no-till throughout the trip. Brian Lindley, Executive Director of No-till on the Plains, Inc., says, "With this kind of format, participants can ask questions of the experts and producers and get immediate, practical answers. The interaction on the bus is just tremendous. Attendees of past tours have told us that these trips have changed their thinking, their farming practices, and their lives." Register online or by phone by Aug. 15 for $650 ($325 for spouses) which includes travel and double-occupancy lodging. Attendees are responsible for meal costs. No-till on the Plains is a regional organization that reaches over 3,000 farmers yearly. The farmer-run group promotes practical and scientific application of continuous no-till farming.
