NoTill Drill Demonstration

Demonstration event

The Coos Country Conservation District hosted a demonstration in Columbia last Wednesday of a 10-foot Great Plains No Till Drill 1006NT, pulled by Scott Deblois so participants could see it in action.

About

No-till farming practices keep the soil structure intact-enabling it to absorb more water and handle heavy rain as well as decreases erosion and supports trillions of microbes in the soil. (Jake Mardin photo)

A no-till drill similar to the one used here is available for rental through our rental program. For more information, visit the Drill page here.
