No Till Agriculture Documentary

The roots of no-till agriculture has its humble beginnings in the Bluegrass State in Western Kentucky, where the majority of the state's row crop is grown. That recognition has drawn the interest of a documentary producer from New York City's Columbia University. That producer and a videographer visited Western Kentucky this summer to shoot video and conduct interviews with those knowledgeable about the history of no-till agriculture. No-till is now a common practice and one experts tout among the greatest innovations in agriculture.

how did ancient farmers plant the seeds without modern machinery/tools ?

[@arifyilmaz3970]

by hand made tools by labor and so much hard work
using animal poop as fertilizer
and around rivers for flood waters

Would love some further information on this no-till documentary. Anybody know what the name is and where can we see this documentary?

How to manage weed control?

[@vivalaleta]

By leaving what remains of the last crop on the ground it crowds out the weed seeds from landing. If you've got cattle there's no weeds, just forage.

[@assadurrahman7003]

Weeds are crop allies, they help in the growth of cash crop not damage them, new research by Dr.Asif Sherif, founder of PQNK method of agriculture. For details check on youtube.

Lol

It returns less organic matter not more.

[@vivalaleta]

You don't know anything about regenerative agriculture.

[@codyprice0295]

Same amount of organic matter seems like to me, just over a greater period of time. Looks like they don’t have to apply any agents to aid microbes and biomes in braking down the previous crop.
Pretty interesting actually.
Avoids a hard pan layer down below plows and rippers and keeps top soils from basically blowing away.
Look at me learning stuff😂

Birth place of no till. So Funny . All the ancient farmer use this method.

[@eyvahridvan]

in that time there was no tool for direct interseeding. only solution hoe the ground and destroy weeds. but in the same time there was farmers like fukuoka ı think. his method called natural farming.

Sujal Shrestha how did ancient farmers plant the seeds without modern machinery/tools ?

[@susjal1]

​​@@incorectulpoliticwith there hands. My grandfather is a farmer. He alone can grow so many rice that if he plant rice in 1 acre then that rice will be sufficient for him for more than 30 years

[@incorectulpolitic]

For 30 years ? Really ? How much would he eat per day from growing 30 years worth of rice ?? How does he store it to last 30 years ? @@susjal1
But how does he plant the seeds through the cover crops ?

[@codyprice0295]

⁠@@incorectulpolitiche’s obviously selling it off. And he’s probably making holes with his fingers or loosening the soil with his hand. Rice is grown in mud I believe.
