National No-Tillage Conference coming to Louisville in January By Sean Southard Frankfort, KY - No-till planting, a practice that first found success in Kentucky, is celebrating 60 years next year. And for only the second time in its 30-year history, the National No-Tillage Conference, the event that celebrates and encourages no-till practices for agriculture, will be back in Kentucky, Commissioner of Agriculture Dr. Ryan Quarles announced. "We are excited to once again host the National No-Tillage Conference," Commissioner Quarles said. "Since the practice first found success in Kentucky in 1962, it's only fitting we welcome the conference that celebrates and encourages this agricultural execution, back home to where it all began. No-till planting has changed the way Kentucky farmers can work the land for the benefit of all." The National No-Tillage Conference is set for Jan. 4-7, 2022, at the Galt House in Louisville. The four-day event will include information from leading no-tillers, agronomists, researchers and other no-till experts sharing ideas for farmers to get the most out of their no-till farming system.
