Visitors from around the world come to Milan on the fourth Thursday in July to learn the latest about no-tillage crop production techniques. Attendance at this event included 3322 visitors from 66 Tennessee counties, 16 states, and one international country. We received registration cards from 52% of our visitors. Of these, 681 identified themselves as farmers and they reported that they farmed 592,475 acres with no-till and 207,767 acres with conventional tillage practices. Tennessee farmers in attendance reported 536,143 acres that were no-tilled (24.8% of no-tilled acres in Tennessee) and 175,938 acres of minimum or conventional tillage. In summary, the farmers who registered represented 23% of the total acreage in Tennessee of the five major row crops (corn, cotton, soybeans, wheat, and sorghum).
We sincerely appreciate the support of the Milan community and all of their assistance in making this event a success since 1981. Numerous community events and activities, held in conjunction with the field day, are described in the field day program.
