The Conservation Ag Foundation and No-Till Farmer is pleased to announce that specialized attachments manufacturer Yetter Manufacturing and tires/wheels manufacturer Titan International have stepped forward in support of Almena, Kan., no-tiller and rancher Michael Thompson as the 4th recipient of the Conservation Ag Operator Fellowship.
Thompson was selected for the honor due to his extensive experience no-tilling a diverse array of crops, successful livestock integration and dedication to soil health and the active role he takes in the stewardship of local watersheds.
The Conservation Ag Operator Fellowship program is an in-depth, year-long content series shared via No-Till Farmer channels that will detail Thompson’s decisions and actions throughout the year. The multi-media series, garnered from numerous trips out to his own farm, examines his approach to a variety of subjects, including cropping decisions, attachment/equipment purchases, test plots, seeding/planting conditions and on-the-go decisions in response to weather and other variables. Farmers may also ask Thompson specific questions at any time through the "Ask the Operator" online forum.
