Bob Uphoff of Uphoff Ham and Bacon, and board member of the Yahara Pride Farms farmer-led watershed group, shares his experience farming without tillage.

Bob farms with his two son's just south of Madison, WI, raising hogs and grain crops. The Uphoff's began to integrate no-till farming practices into their operation over four decades ago and have since transitioned all of their acres to no-till.

Tune in to learn how Bob has made changes over time to make no-till farming work for him on his farm, along with advice on how to get started.
