The conference focused
on methods of no-tillage
farming, and included tours
of no-tillage plots planted
especially for the conference
so that farmers could view
no-till crops at the growing
stage. In addition, the group
toured selected livestock
farms accompanied by
University of Hawaii ex
tension authorities, and
attended special “shirt

management techniques,
goal setting and agri-estate
planning.

A new no-till planter was
flown to the island
specifically to plant the no
till plots and also to conduct
planting demonstrations
during the conference,
giving farmers a first-hand
view of no-till planting
procedures as well as the
results of 20 separate farm
chemical comparisons in the
plots.
The conference received
such a reception from farm
couples that World Wide

affiliated with No-Till

News magazines—has
scheduled a second similar
conference in Honolulu the
week of March 24-31. If any
farm couples from this area
are interested in attending
the March conference, the
Keeners say they will be glad
to provide information and
an evaluation to the first
conference.
