On this episode of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Bio-Till Cover Crops, Univ. of Illinois analysts dive into new data from the Precision Conservation Management program, comparing the economic differences between no-till, strip-till and other tillage systems. Plus, we head to Washington County, Wis., for an update on two farmers who dealt with historic flooding over the summer.
