I am a gardener and not a farmer! Great presentation. Very interesting. I don't cut the grass in the back yard any more. I cover it in pine straw that others throw away. Now there are worms in the top soil were there were none before!
Noel I found the video very educational. On the Canadian Prairies and more specifcally Northern Alberta most producers are using a minimal tillage system. Using a heavy harrow is nessecary to warm that soil layer you have to keep in mind we are only 20-30 days after the frost is out of the ground when seeding takes place. I know there are no till producers making it work but for minimal tillage what techniques would you recomend to reduce the production of fines ?
That was great Noel,thank you.Everything you talked about made much sense but i have a question.Would it help if corn stubble was ploughed in for a few years together with cover crops to build up the soil before starting no till?.Thanks again.
+William Robinson Thanks William I don't really have much experience with corn stubble. My experience with stubble in general is that it is best left standing on top of the ground. This is the way nature does it and this is the best way to improve your soils. Instead of working up the soils for a few years, I think you would be best to use those years to let the micro activity do their thing uninterrupted. The standing stubble will protect your soils from erosion from wind and water and the root system will be enough to feed your micro activity. Best of luck...........Noel
the use of cover crops alone is far better than using any type of tillage. Anytime you till you are damaging your soil and killing earthworms, and microbes.
Great video Mr Tobin. Do you think it is possible to do no-till without any herbicides, that is, organically? We are always compromised by a certain amount of weed cover, but, there are fewer weed seeds exposed during no-till drilling, I suppose. Perennial weeds are another matter, of course. I think that if no-till can be made to work, organically, then this would be of great benefit.
Hi Mr. Tobin, great video. I don't know if your "soil space" theory is really correct or not, but I really like it and trust the rule of Mother Nature, Thank you! That's really impressive.
this is wonderful and very educative,but to a small scale farmer without proper tools,what is the right method of no till farming,and advice on locale available tools here in kenya
There is a company in South Africa that sell single or twin disc no till seed drills for small scale African farmers. I looked at them and they look very good. The single disc model is hand operated. I think they would be fantastic for corn or beans.
Wait what the hell? More water is lost thru the soil than through transpiration. Planting closer just makes sense. It certainly leaves space! Weeds don't cause as many problems as u believe.
Weeds harvest sun, you should fill up the empty space between the rows with cover-crops so they can harvest energy and cover and protect the soil from the sun so the soil doesn't get to hot witch has many negative effects, nonfunctional plants and water evaporation etc. Cover crops also holds water, not use it. If you are in need of water your soil is bad and you need more carbon in it.
What does it mean to 'create more fines'? What are fines in the soil? And what can be done when the weeds have a better and more extensive root system than the crop. How to best rid or reduce the soil from excess weeds and still remain somewhat organic?

very fine peices of crop residue Think of how espresso coffee blocks a filter.
Есть сеялки у которых угол атаки такой что семена кладутся на землю и прикрываются подрезанной стерней без раскрытия ряда !!! Подрезал вложил семена и прикрыл ... Самое минеральное вмешательство !
i'm very interesting to keep our earth still healthy like that. how we can contact each other or are have whatsapp group for sharing idea forward. i'm from indonesia. Thanks
To reduce the weed in Paddy / Groundnut/ maize plantation, you must ploughing the land as follows: 1. After rain, you must give time to grow weeds upto 20 days. After 20 days, ploughing the field by Disc Harrow as Este West one time and South and North another time. After 8 days, plough same field two times by using Cultivator. After another 8 days, plough the same field two times by using Rotovator. Very next day, you may sowing Paddy, Groundnut or Mize. This is the way to reduce weeds in the crops. Try it, if can.
Did you understand a word he said? The entire point of no-till is to disturb the soil life and structure as little as possible. The best way to control weeds is proper mulching and cover crops. Nature tends to cover naked soil with leaves,. The soil is full of seeds that are dormant and waiting for the right conditions to germinate. They don't come up as much if they have no space to grow or are too far from the surface.
Isn't it more logical to mix / cover plant residues with soil and stop dissipation/waste of CO2 and N2 into the air? How about capillar travel of water from beneath directly to the atmosphere when no tillage is applied? It seems more reasonable to cut capillar water travel somewhere below the ground level and cover it with soil/residue mix to protect from waste of water allowing plants roots to use water from below. The only acceptable argument in favor of NT is cost cut and achieving low but optimal crop from the total economy point of view, all at great environmental expense due to herbicide poisoning of the soil life.
do u no til soil & grow🌾 takes a few years but its worth it soil is better my x school mate from 70s he started it in australia & went world🌏 wide teaching about No Til crops 👍Horsham vic oz guy he be 60 now like me found 1 video if he dont convice you nothing will
Advocating a more sustainable form agriculture and advising people to spray glyphosate seems very contradictory. Other than that it's a good presentation.
The best overall detailed explanation of the No-Til farming process. Today, 8 years later it is still very relevant. TY
Learned lots from this video . Thanks for sharing and explaining this 60 year old method which is ignored by most of the world.

Absolutely brilliant video Noel. I learnt so much. Thank you so much!!!
You are correct. I agree with everything you said about No-till. Farming in Wisconsin United States.
Thanks sir after 6 years ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. That was quite informative.
I am a gardener and not a farmer! Great presentation. Very interesting. I don't cut the grass in the back yard any more. I cover it in pine straw that others throw away. Now there are worms in the top soil were there were none before!
THANK YOU FOR A great presentation
Many thanks for all valuable and constructive information.
Love and respect from India 🇮🇳 ❤😊
THANK YOU SIR . IT'S A PRIVILEDGE LISTENING TO YOU.
Thank you very much for your detailed presentation...
Good presentation. Thank you from Punjab India
Very informative video. Thank you
Very good sir Namaskar i am watching from South Korea but i am Nepalese

Noel Tobin Thank you.
If it's genetically modified, it will take longer to degrade, best to use non-gmo seed.
the use of cover crops alone is far better than using any type of tillage. Anytime you till you are damaging your soil and killing earthworms, and microbes.
Great video!
Good to see no till farming idea
🙏 Haryana India
Excellent information
Can someone tell, what's the name this bug shown at 10:56? I see it here in India too. 🐜🙏🏼
It's called a Woodlouse, old wood is it's favoured habitat, a good bug to have.
Excellent video!!

Halo sir Thank you for giving no till farming . I want to discuss with you so email me at khanduvaishu@gmail.com
Bruce Maynard has a system called no kill pasture cropping that is organic. He has lots on UA-cam videos under no kill cropping.
Question: there are clear benefits to leaving the stubble to capture carbon and minimize erosion, but what about the risk of fire in a hot climate?
Lovely sir ji
Hi Mr. Tobin, great video. I don't know if your "soil space" theory is really correct or not, but I really like it and trust the rule of Mother Nature, Thank you! That's really impressive.
see zerobudget natural farming by palekar . millions are following this without any investment
Very good sir I am watching from Nepal
Sir, I am from India, Hyderabad farmer,
But I how can I control weeds in No Till method.
Please suggest me as early as possible
Mantap bos informasinya
Thank you
this is wonderful and very educative,but to a small scale farmer without proper tools,what is the right method of no till farming,and advice on locale available tools here in kenya
Start with minimal tillage using a heavy harrow
there are lots of videos on youtube about it. look up gabe brown
There is a company in South Africa that sell single or twin disc no till seed drills for small scale African farmers. I looked at them and they look very good. The single disc model is hand operated. I think they would be fantastic for corn or beans.
@@deathlesszero Gabe Brown is excellent on soil management. A great recommendation from you.
How you get rid of the bugs that can eat ur crop
Thanks
Very interresting for Algeria.
Nice❤
wonderfull presention agree with nearly every thing you said
I think you ar taking only one crop if u want to take 2 nd one what wil u do
Wait what the hell? More water is lost thru the soil than through transpiration. Planting closer just makes sense. It certainly leaves space! Weeds don't cause as many problems as u believe.
Thanks a lot wow great.
Fantastic

Barton had this design 20 years ago
Good job

LMFAO.. total cognitive dissonance... roundup and ALL products from BIG CHEMICAL/AGRO etc is pure poison.
