Jeff Moyer’s Roller/Crimper No-Till: Advancing No-Till Agriculture — Crops, Soil & Equipment is now available from Acres U.S.A.

GREELEY, Colorado — Roller/Crimper inventor Jeff Moyer and Tractor Time host Ben Trollinger on Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. EST will connect for a live broadcast to celebrate the official book launch of Roller/Crimper No-Till, an expanded update of the groundbreaking work, Organic No-Till Farming.

The two will discuss the role of the Roller/Crimper in the regenerative agriculture movement, and talk about what inspired Moyer, the CEO of Rodale Institute, to build the first model. Every episode of Tractor Time, a podcast by Acres U.S.A, features an in-depth interview on a topic related to eco-agriculture. Moyer’s new book presents farmers — organic and conventional — with a proven system that limits tillage, reduces labor, cuts toxic inputs and improves soil structure. It will help farmers after a surge of interest in no-till and cover cropping. This will be Moyer’s first guest appearance on the podcast, which has reached more than 130,000 people in its 3-year history. Ben Trollinger is the editor of Acres U.S.A. magazine, and host of Tractor Time.

Jeff Tkach, chief growth officer of Rodale Institute, will also join the talk. Guests are welcome to attend the live interview for free, or watch the live broadcast or replay on YouTube.
