Join Northern Vigo County farmer Joe Koch as he walks us through how no-till practices and cover crops are transforming his operation — improving soil health, preventing erosion, and saving on input costs.
With help from the Indiana 319 Program, Joe upgraded to a new planter equipped with specialized spiked closing wheels that “fluff” the soil for better seed coverage and drainage, especially on wetter ground. He explains how these innovations — paired with rye and wheat cover crops — protect the land, maintain fertility, and reduce the need for extra trips across the field, cutting both fuel and equipment expenses.
🌱 Highlights:
00:00 – Joe introduces his no-till and cover crop system
00:18 – How spiked closing wheels improve planting conditions
00:50 – The benefits of no-till farming: erosion control, fertility retention, and cost savings
This is part of a series highlighting local conservation practices supported by the Section 319 Nonpoint Source Pollution Program, which helps landowners protect Indiana’s soil and water resources.
