No-Till Pumpkins

Source: Fox Demo Farms

Check out these no-till pumpkins planted by Stan Kaczmarek and his cousins! After 2019, the soil loss from the heavy rains led Stan to rethink their pumpkin plantings. In the spring of 2020, they frost-seeded oats to keep the soil on the ground. After burning it off, they no-till planted their pumpkins into the cover crop residue.
