pheasants nesting among alfalfa. Rent the St. Joe County Conservation
District’s no-till drill for an afternoon and you’re off to a great start!
Repopulate open spaces with juicy, yummy, and tasty wildlife tidbits using the St. Joe County Conservation District's no till drill, hooked to your tractor's hitch, and in an afternoon, plant wildflowers and grasses.
A federally funded study at Purdue University found that no-till farming releases significantly less greenhouse gas than conventional farming. According to the study, no-till fields released 57 percent less nitrous oxide than chisel tilling. (Michigan Farm News, Jan. 30, 2011)
