Zero till farming pioneer Fred Phillips honored locally
Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association awarded Fred Phillips the Conservation Farmer Award for pioneering minimum tillage on the Yorkton area family farm. The 1981 spring windblown soil crisis spurred their shift to zero till, aided by Haybuster and early equipment from Bourgault Flexi Coil and Morris, reducing erosion and expanding annual production.
