Booklet Highlights Financial Implications of Conservation Agriculture

Soil Health Nexus released a publication titled The Financial Implications of Conservation Agriculture, with support from North Central Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education.

This booklet aims to inform farmers’ key partners—in particular, farm business management educators, agricultural lenders, and conservation educators and professionals—about the financial costs and benefits of conservation agriculture practices to assist their work with farmers.

The booklet focuses on four of the most common conservation practices: cover crops, reduced tillage, nutrient management, and managed grazing. The research includes national statistics from the USDA Census of Agriculture and the National Cover Crop Surveys.

Video: NEW Case IH x MacDon FD2 Plus Draper Header Complete Overview


Case IH introduces the new MacDon FD2 Plus Draper Header—a next-generation platform engineered for productivity, precision, and performance across varying field conditions.

The FD2 Plus Series is available in multiple widths—30 ft, 35 ft, 40 ft, 45 ft, 50 ft, and 61 ft—ensuring a perfect match for every Case IH combine, says Ryan Lepp, harvest product marketing manager.

It's designed to handle today’s high-yielding crops, delivering a smoother feeding, cleaner cuts, and superior ground following.

Key features:
>> A 50-inch Draper belt increases crop flow into the feeder house for steady, efficient harvesting.
>> The flexible cutter bar, essential for soybeans and uneven terrain, hugs the ground to capture low pods and reduce grain loss.
>> The optimized reel positioning keeps the reel close to the cutter bar for cleaner feeding and reduced shatter.
>> The FD2 Plus header pairs seamlessly with Case IH AF9, AF10, AF11, and 260 Series combines.
