Chapter 2. Conservation Tillage Systems and Equipment

  • The Undercutter Method for Winter Wheat- Summer Fallow Farming. This 16-minute DVD describes the Undercutter method, a cost and time saving way of farming in the PNW summer fallow area. It contains research and farmer interviews explaining the advantages of the system (published by WSU Extension, January 2007). Watch this video and order your copy here.
