Like most farmers, I was a skeptic when it came to no-till methods. I've made the transition a few years ago and I'll never go back to conventional tillage. I'm a corn/soybean producer. The transition was easier than I expected. No-till farming is probably more difficult for vegetable farmers.

I guess this type of farming is just for large super rich farmers that can afford the ostentatious green and yellow tractors and equipment.

Good luck getting Ghanians to plan for the future.
