They noted a shrinking political voice, urged urban voters to consider agricultural realities, and highlighted the Agriculture Council of America as a channel for direct farmer contact and education.

Dual crops possible with no till corn and legume cover
Penn State weed scientist Dr. Nathan L. Hartwig reports that no till corn can grow with perennial legumes like birdsfoot trefoil or crown vetch using herbicides to suppress the legumes during corn development. After suppression, legumes recover to provide cover for pasture or mulch, with trefoil proving most easily controlled and potentially regrowing for next season.
