Helps farmers to effectively plant crops and
pasture on the rolling topography of West Central
Georgia using the Notill planting method.

Because of the rolling topography of West Central Georgia, the only way to plant without excessive soil erosion is through the use of the notill planting method. Seed is placed directly in the ground in one pass without prior soil preparation, saves fuel, and eliminates exposing topsoil to wind and water erosion.

A custodial agreement with the four member soil and water conservation districts (Lamar SWCD, Pine Mountain SWCD, Roosevelt SWCD and Towaliga SWCD) makes eight notill units available for use by local farmers and cattlemen in the Two Rivers Council area. In exchange for a modest per acre fee, trained notill operators provide the necessary equipment for planting small seeded crops.

Wildlife enthusiasts have also found the program to be very beneficial to wildlife when establishing food plots along logging roads, transmission rights-of-way and other open areas needing improvement.

To date, the stateside Notill Drill Program has served more than 17,000 Georgians who collectively planted over 400,000 acres the notill way.

The success and continuing need for the program can be measured by its longevity which now stretches into its 15th year of operation.
