If you are interested in starting No-till conservation or are an "old pro"
looking for some new tips and tricks, join the folks with Oklahoma State as
they host the No-Till Conference, February 1 and 2 in Norman. Agenda
attached at end of message. Please forward to any interested persons.

I attended last year and it was well worth the time and effort.  Hope to see
you there!
