About Us

Although much discussion took place and several meetings and workshops were held on both sides of the border in the late 70's and early 80's, the Manitoba - North Dakota Zero Tillage Farmers Association was formally organized at a workshop in Minot, North Dakota on January 22, 1982. At this workshop the present name was chosen, the constitution adopted and the first board of directors elected.

The purpose of the Association is to: facilitate the exchange of ideas, encourage zero tillage research, and disseminate zero tillage information. The Association pledges "to preserve our agricultural soil resource for future generations by promoting a system of crop production which drastically reduces soil erosion and builds up organic matter".

The Association is run by an elected board of twelve farmers representing agricultural areas of Manitoba and North Dakota plus eight appointed advisors from government and industry. The Association is open to any farmer interested in zero tillage, not only from North Dakota and Manitoba but also from surrounding states and provinces.
