The 25th Milan No-Till Field DayThursday, July 24, 2008Welcome to the nation's largest Field Day devoted to no-tillage crop production techniques. We appreciate your interest and hope that you will learn techniques for increasing production, reducing expenses, improving marketing skills, or increasing the efficiency of your crop production operation.
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 the 2006 field day included 3087 visitors from 73 Tennessee counties, 21 states, and one international country– the result of planning and hard work of many cooperating agencies, industries and volunteers. We received registration cards from 64% of our visitors. Of these, 843 identified themselves as farmers and they reported that they farmed 661,767 acres with no-till and 309,584 acres with conventional tillage practices. Tennessee farmers in attendance reported 569,695 acres that were no-tilled (31.2% of no-tilled acres in Tennessee) and 271,554 acres of minimum or conventional tillage. In summary, the farmers who registered represented 31% 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.
