The Living Soil — What 5 Soils & A Rainfall Simulator Reveal About Soil Health What is really meant by soil health? How does it connect, if at all, to farm resilience and profitability? For years, soil health educator Ray Archuleta has used rainfall simulator demonstrations to vividly illustrate how different management practices can dramatically impact a soil's ability to absorb and retain water. These demonstrations have captivated audiences around the world. One such demo in North Carolina presented an opportunity to look deeper beneath the surface. Learn more in this video. Transforming Bulgaria's Soils with No-Till Can farmers improve soil health, reduce agricultural inputs and build more resilient farming systems without completely changing everything overnight? In Part 1 of this Harvesting Wisdom conversation, Mike McMahon speaks with Bulgarian regenerative agriculture advocate Petya Ivanova about the growing movement toward no-till farming, conservation agriculture and regenerative practices in Bulgaria. No-Till On Display at Soil Health Field Day In this video, Ottawa County, Kan., no-tiller Craig Ballou shares information about no-till corn and answers questions during this field day centered around all things soil health. No-Till Farmer Editors Have Boots on the Ground at Farm Progress Show Our editors are busy in Boone, Iowa, covering all the latest and greatest innovations at Farm Progress Show this year, like this newly unveiled Yetter 9000 Rebel. As Andy Thompson explains, it’s designed to interchangeably operate with either a coulter attachment or a knife configuration, giving growers a dual-season strip-till solution. Stay tuned for a whole lot more no-till, stirp-till and cover crop content from Farm Progress Show 2026. Does Minimal Tillage Hurt Soil Health? Minimal, or in many cases zero tillage, is a core, often non-negotiable tenet of regenerative farming practices. But growers shouldn’t be overly concerned about using occasional strategic cultivation, according to soils and cultivation consultant Philip Wright. A meta-analysis by Dr Yash Dang, principal research fellow at the University of Queensland, of research papers investigating the impact of occasional strategic tillage from across the world found that negative effects on parameters such as plant-available water, nutrient availability, soil-borne diseases and carbon were short-lived, Wright says.
