Many farmers rely too heavily on inputs and tillage, not realizing the toll — eroded soils, polluted waterways and strained communities, says Monte Bottens. The Cambridge, Ill., no-tiller and AgEmerge Podcast host unpacks the concept of “Principles-First Farming,” evaluating practices through 5 soil health principles to reduce 5 common excesses. “It’s about rethinking our approach for healthier land and stronger profits, not just maintaining the status quo,” Bottens says.

The 2024 NNTC Most Outstanding Speaker shares actionable insights on how “less can be more” with no-till and details how all attendees can step up and make a difference.

You’ll Learn: 5 practices to scale back on, how soil health principles shape smarter choices & the off-farm benefits of this paradigm shift.
