Keeping down dust during planting
A believer in cover crops, Mark Kies has been farming for more than 40 years in Hillsdale County, in Southeast Michigan. He says they prefer to farm using a lot of conservation practices. “I prefer to do no-till as much as we can, we do some minimum vertical tillage.” He says, “It just seems to hold the soil.”
Kies says reducing tillage during planting means a lot less dust and maintenance. “The one thing I do like about no-till is the lack of dust during planting season.”
The farm also uses variable rate technology for soil testing and fertilizer applications.
