The K-State Center for Excellence in Dryland Agriculture is tasked to improve resilience and profitability of dryland farming in the semi-arid Great Plains and beyond by promoting trans-disciplinary producer driven research, support sustainable and diversify dryland-cropping systems, strengthening outreach and communication programs to disseminate unbiased research-based innovative production practices to dryland farmers.

K-State Soil Scientist, Augustine Obour, discusses the advantages of strategic tillage within no-till systems.  Augustine shares information about his 6-year research study in western Kansas.   Specifically discussing some of the benefits of strategic tillage, how it might be used to control herbicide resistant weeds, implications on soil health and water, and if occasional tillage impacts future crop yields.  Join us today for 7-minute conversation on strategic tillage.
