 my name is Dana Jocola. I'm a graduate student in the Department of Horticulture at Iowa State University and I received a CER graduate student grant last year and I've completed the first year of a project looking at organic no-tail production of broccoli and bell peppers and we're trying to see if we can find a union of no-tail production with organic practices that allow us to achieve good yields while reducing the impact of tillage on in organic cropping systems. Yeah so the the goal is to develop a production system based on cover crops and reduction of tillage that allows for improved yields and so farmers can can be economically viable while improving the the environmental sustainability of their practices and the funding from CER has helped to support all the the labor and material inputs that are required to carry out this study and we're continuing this this current year and at the end of the year we'll have two years of data and we'll see what we find.
