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. Don’t let fear stop you from trying new crop management practices on your farm, they say.
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.

“Mom, I used to pull all-nighters to get projects done,” my older daughter said matter-of-factly. “We are going to finish this.”
I wanted to take a break from reorganizing our cupboards. My daughter was behaving more like she was my mother.
“But I’m tired,” I whined dramatically.
“You and Dad are hoarders,” she added as she threw plastic containers in the recycle bag.
“Are you taking my name in vain?” my husband asked as he poked his head in the kitchen.
