Farm Progress
WILLING TO TRY: Farmers are increasingly looking for better ways to improve their soil and their bottom line. For many, that means planting soybeans into corn crop residue.

Farming practices get entrenched in an operation, as farmers simply build on what was done by their fathers, grandfathers and beyond. Changing those practices and ways of thinking can be a big first step to a new beginning.
Three North Dakota farmers shared the “why” behind their practices and tips for other producers during the Dakota Innovation Research and Technology Workshop, a virtual event hosted by the North Dakota State University Extension.
