 Clay County farmer Dick Nissen converted to no-till in 1995 and this August we posed this Residue question to his son Chris Neighbor comes in says Chris. I'm not gonna do it. We got to you We'll have too much residue to plant into I don't want to mess with that. What would you answer beef? Come look at our planter and see what we're what we have and see what we plan into and As a neighbor, you know, it works what we do because you can look across when you're combining and You're dumping in the wagon the same time the neighbor is Same row ahead. So, you know the yields are the same. So it's like Why would I be out there with my field cultivator my do my chisel plow my disk spending all that money when I look over at my neighbor who's out there with a sprayer and a planter and He's dumping the wagon just as often as I am it would raise questions in my mind like Why am I putting all this into it? to get the same out of it as that guy that's half the time Half the equipment wear and tear he's out there with a hundred and forty horsepower tractor. I got three hundred horse Yeah, I To me it it raises the question that they should be asking themselves is why Don't I change? Why do I keep beating my head against the wall doing the same thing? Just because grandpa did it Wow, that's my favorite soundbites so far. But is that just Chris's opinion? Is there anything more we can find from East River researchers on this? Sure, and let's go down the road to SDSU Southeast Research Farm and talk with Dr. Pete Sexton See you soon
