Nebraska Mark Sintek, resource conservationist with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service in Ord, announced that there will be a Winter No Till Conference held March 17 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Veterans Club in Ord, Neb. The conference is free and open to all with a free lunch provided and prepared by the Ord FFA. You do not have to be a farmer to attend this event. If you can't attend the whole day, stop in or leave when needed. Speakers include Ray Ward, Ph.D., who will talk about using carbon as a nutrient. Paul Jasa will discuss uniformity and how you get it in adjusting your planter. Kathy Buttle will demonstrate how erosion starts and how it's stopped by using a rainfall simulator; if you've never seen this rainfall simulator, you are in for a treat. Mark Watson will talk about No Till and water savings. Keith Burns will discuss cover crops and forage cocktails. Case IH and John Deere will have planters on-site. Several area businesses will have booths set up providing information about their products. Thanks to all the sponsors committed to this conference.
