Texas farmer aims to ditch plow for better, soil-building way

Repeatedly tilling soil kills its fertility and subjects it to the forces that will eventually erode it away. This we know, but how do we change the way we've farmed for the last 10,000 years so that we build up the soil rather than tearing it down.

In the last several decades, no-till practices have caught on. Supported by the USDA, the UN and even the large agribusiness corporations themselves, no-till practices show promise of saving our soil, its viability and the future of food production.

Texas farmer Marshall Hinsley shares how he plans to adopt these techniques in the coming years in this article from Dallas Culture Map.
