The University of California Conservation Agriculture Systems Innovation Center (CASI) has named Darrell and Trevor Cordova of Denair recipients of the 2014 Conservation Tillage Farmer Innovator Award.
California's Conservation Agriculture Systems Innovation (CASI) Center, in partnership with Sustainable Conservation and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, has prepared its survey of tillage management acreage for 2012.
Recent investigations conducted by UC's Conservation Agriculture Systems Innovation (CASI) Center shed light on opportunities farmers have for cutting production costs in their cropping systems by reducing tillage.
The belief that an unrivaled record of productivity, deep soils and dry climate mean conservation agriculture doesn't apply in California is flat wrong, said Jeff Mitchell, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the Department of Plant Sciences at UC Davis.
