Front cover photos:
The unique cross-border relationship between farmers in the
Manitoba-North Dakota Zero Tillage Farmers Association and the leadership being
taken by zero till farmers on both sides of the border are emphasized by the
farm signs from the Area IV Cooperative Research Farm at Mandan, North Dakota
and the Manitoba Zero Tillage Research Association Farm at Brandon, Manitoba.
The zero till farmer's desire to work in harmony rather than conflict with
nature is illustrated by the duck nest between the rows of an emerging no-till
crop and by the duff layer which is created in a zero till farming system.
