PROFILES IN SOIL HEALTH
The Kruger Family, Milbank, SD
“I think that no-till has given me different opportunities … neighbors after watching me, ten to fifteen years of what I’m doing, have come to me and said, “Hey, we like what you are doing on your ground. We want you to farm ours too, the same way.” – David Kruger
In the first “Profiles In Soil Health” video release of 2020, David Kruger describes his experiences transitioning to no-till, a process he began slowly in 1993. The large variety of soil types present in his fields caused quite a bit of problem solving at the start but as he has gotten more comfortable. David has seen benefits he hadn’t at first considered. He outlines some of the initial reasons he decided to pursue the practice, as well as different benefits and opportunities that have arisen as a result of his now operation-wide management.
