Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg to venture into no-till farming. After purchasing a Novag T-ForcePlus 450, he realized that many of his colleagues had obviously just been waiting for it. <\/p><p>It&#8217;s not always easy being a pioneer. Farmer Claus Schmid also had to learn this. He had been looking into no-till for his farm in Hattingen on the southern edge of the Swabian Alb for several years. In order to gain first-hand experience, he sought out farmers in the region who were already practicing the system.

In addition, when looking through old photos, he got the impression that he was losing topsoil. &#8220;Some areas were 30 to 40 centimetres higher from the road 40 years ago than they are today,&#8221; says the farmer. &#8220;That&#8217;s when I realized that my arable farming system with mulch sowing and intensive use of stubble is not optimal.&#8221;    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b861dd pad-b-m e-flex e-con-boxed elementor-invisible e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3b861dd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1bd2f0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d1bd2f0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-027bc42 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"027bc42\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div data-dce-text-color=\"#000000\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a11535d elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a11535d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>No-till works for all crops<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b46439 elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4b46439\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After just under a year of experience, he is now absolutely convinced that he is on the right track with no-till and the Novag.

In his experience, the seed quality was equally good everywhere and wear was normal. He had to replace the seed discs for the first time after around 1,000 hectares, which is &#8220;absolutely okay&#8221; for him.  <\/p><p>He has already come closer to his goal of improving his soil with no-till in the first year. &#8220;This is already visible in the much more intensive soil life,&#8221; says Schmid: &#8220;The amount of earthworms, beetles and other animals that are now on the move is amazing.&#8221; The soil structure of his fields also proved to be very stable when there was heavy rain in late summer.  <\/p><p>However, he observed slug infestation in his maize and rapeseed crops for the first time, which he was not used to with his mulch sowing system. For this reason, he always applies additional slug pellets to the seed in these crops via an additional Novag hopper. This allows him to control the infestation well.  <\/p><p>Until now, Schmid has used glyphosate for weed control in no-till farming. But the farmer, who is keen to experiment, has no problem with the expiry of the approval for the product. &#8220;The product makes no-till easier, of course. But it also works without it,&#8221; Schmid is convinced. He gained this conviction in his own trials, in which he sowed winter triticale in a man-high intercropping mixture. &#8220;It looked very wild at first. But the seed placement was absolutely perfect and the Novag didn&#8217;t get blocked once. And now I&#8217;m just delighted with the crops,&#8221; says Schmid.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48dceb8

On average, he uses around 13 liters of diesel per sowing with the Novag. When mulch sowing with a cultivator, on the other hand, it was three to four passes and therefore three to four times the amount of diesel.   <\/p><p>A particular benefit for him is the time saved: &#8220;It&#8217;s really huge when you don&#8217;t have to work the soil. I have a lot less stress as a result and have also realized that Free time is also nice.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc402b6 pad-b-m e-flex e-con-boxed elementor-invisible e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bc402b6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1831074 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1831074\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a6bf2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"67a6bf2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div data-dce-text-color=\"#000000\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aee9866 elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aee9866\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Additional income with CO2 certificates<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-103a1de elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"103a1de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Schmid was surprised at how well the machine copes with his highly variable soils and, above all, with the massive stone cover on 90 percent of the fields. In his experience, the seed quality was equally good everywhere and wear was normal. He had to replace the seed discs for the first time after around 1,000 hectares, which is &#8220;absolutely okay&#8221; for him.  <\/p><p>He has already come closer to his goal of improving his soil with no-till in the first year. &#8220;This is already visible in the much more intensive soil life,&#8221; says Schmid: &#8220;The amount of earthworms, beetles and other animals that are now on the move is amazing.&#8221; The soil structure of his fields also proved to be very stable when there was heavy rain in late summer.  <\/p><p>However, he observed slug infestation in his maize and rapeseed crops for the first time, which he was not used to with his mulch sowing system. For this reason, he always applies additional slug pellets to the seed in these crops via an additional Novag hopper. This allows him to control the infestation well.  <\/p><p>Until now, Schmid has used glyphosate for weed control in no-till farming. But the farmer, who is keen to experiment, has no problem with the expiry of the approval for the product. &#8220;The product makes no-till easier, of course. But it also works without it,&#8221; Schmid is convinced. He gained this conviction in his own trials, in which he sowed winter triticale in a man-high intercropping mixture. &#8220;It looked very wild at first. But the seed placement was absolutely perfect and the Novag didn&#8217;t get blocked once. And now I&#8217;m just delighted with the crops,&#8221; says Schmid.    <\/p><p>In addition to contract sowing, the introduction of no-till also opened up another source of income for Schmid through the sale of CO2 certificates. This is because companies that generate greenhouse gases during their production are obliged to offset these emissions with certificates. Due to the expected build-up of humus on his land and the associated fixation of CO2, Schmid can sell such certificates via an intermediary company on the energy exchange. In order to determine the actual humus build-up and CO2 sequestration, the soil on his land is regularly tested.   <\/p><p>Today, he is glad that he listened to his gut feeling a year ago, despite the difficult conditions, and opted for Novag as a pioneer in the region. The machine has fully met his expectations, but this did not really surprise him. Schmid: &#8220;The philosophy of the company, the openness and helpfulness of the employees, that suited me right from the start. I&#8217;ve never experienced anything like it before.&#8221;    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0994ceb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0994ceb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2f0dd0 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor--h-position-center elementor--v-position-middle elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"f2f0dd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;arrows&quot;,&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:168,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;laptop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0,&quot;sticky_anchor_link_offset&quot;:0}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slider\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"fadeInUp\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-37c76d1 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"NOV_Shoot-Testimonial2022-Schmid-1739-RGB-lowres\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-858652f pad-tb-l e-flex e-con-boxed elementor-invisible e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"858652f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e8f7c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e8f7c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Any questions?
