About the Project In June 2008, KIS started working with Richard Gray (Dept. of Bioresource Policy, Business and Economics), Bernie Sonntag (AAFC retired) and Wayne Lindwall (AAFC retired) to organize a conference and write a book on the history of conservation tillage (and zero-till) in Western Canada. The Conference A conference was held March 24-25, 2009 in Saskatoon, SK. Many of the presenters at this conference expanded their presentations into chapters for the book. |

The Book Once the conference was over, the focus shifted to writing a book on the history of zero tillage (conservation tillage). The book features 16 chapters representing 35 contributors. We are very pleased to have submissions from each of the major provincial soil conservation associations as well as "bio stories" from seven early adopters of zero tillage. Read the e-book »

Share your story! Have a story about the early days of zero-till? We know there are many zero-till champions - farmers, researchers, academics, extension agrologists, equipment manufacturers - who played a role in zero-till adoption. We interviewed a few for this book, and we know there are many more stories to be told. We would love to hear your stories and experiences! Share your ZT adoption story »
