Bringing Pennsylvania's Successful No-Till Farmers Together

Increasing fuel prices, scarcity of labor, and terrific new market opportunities have producers scratching their heads and sharpening their pencils. Some are considering continuous no-till as a management practice that can increase their return on investment by lowering fuel, labor and equipment input costs.

The PA No-Till Alliance was formed by a group of like -minded producers that have used no-till systems in their operations and know the many benefits it has to offer. The Alliance is based on the following guiding principles:
