Two young farmers are trying to push conservation practices further with the help of technology.
Cody and Caleb Symons took responsibility for a portion of their family’s multi-generational row crop farm six years ago in Michigan’s Saginaw Bay. Caleb, who manages the daily operations and sells LG Seeds, tells Brownfield carrying forward his dad’s no-till efforts was a no-brainer.
“You start no-till, you’re a lot more environmentally safe, you’re reducing your runoff into the lakes and streams,” he says.
