Profiting From Reducing Tillage and Lowering Emissions

Profiting From Reducing Tillage and Lowering Emissions - Introduction

During this series of six videos, filmed in Scotland, we look at reduced tillage and reducing farm emissions over three different farms throughout the lothians and the borders. We look at how they have adapted their cultivation system and reduced their tillage by moving to either strip tillage, direct drilling or reduced cultivation.
