About this episode

Bruce Tiffany discusses his experience with no-till farming and its benefits in Redwood County, Minnesota.

Jared Luhman returns to the mic to interview Bruce Tiffany, a fourth-generation row crop farmer in Redwood County, Minnesota. Bruce knows those rolling hills along the Redwood River intimately: he has farmed over 54 seasons there. He currently grows soy, corn, and rye. Motivated by a desire to minimize inputs and to do right by previous and future generations, Bruce has shifted his practices to minimize tillage and keep a living root in the soil. He's found that even in fields with a dozen or more soil types, he's reaping better-than-average yields for his area -- while spending less to make it happen.
