The No-Till Roller/Crimper System combines cover crops with a new farm implement to allow organic farmers to effectively use no-till, for the first time. This 18 minute videotape provides a complete orientation to the no-till roller/crimper and offers an introduction to strategies for its effective use.
Produced for the Rodale Institute, "The No-Till Roller/Crimper System" answers the questions most farmers have about this approach and documents the financial and environmental benefits of the system.
Plans for building the no-till roller/crimper can be found at the Rodale Institute's website - www.rodaleinstitute.org. "This film hits the ball out of the park," said Fred Kirschenmann of the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture. "It tells a compelling story that could make farmers a lot of money."
