“I don't know any other way to farm. I've never sat on a plow. I'd have no idea how to do any cultivation. No-till is the only way I know how to do it.”
— Thomas Gent, No-Tiller, Tydd St. Giles, England
For this episode of the No-Till Farmer Influencers & Innovators Podcast, brought to you by SOURCE® from Sound Agriculture, Thomas Gent, a 4th-generation farmer, shares the details of the no-till system on his family farm in Tydd St. Giles, England. Gent’s father and grandfather made the decision to switch to no-till 16 years ago, and for him, it’s the only way he’s ever known how to farm.
