CCTA wins No-Till Innovator Award

     The Colorado Conservation Tillage Association was recognized at the 27th Annual National No-Tillage Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, as the recipient of the No-Till Innovator Award in the Organizations category for 2019.
     With members in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, CCTA strives to serve the conservation and no-till producers of the High Plains. The nonprofit provides education on systems that reduce soil erosion, conserve soil moisture, build organic matter and result in greater profit for farm operations.
     The No-Till Innovator Program honors farmers, researchers, organizations and other individuals who have identified ways to no-till more effectively, more economically and with better impact on the environment. Categories for the honor include Crop Production, Research and Education, Organizations, and Business and Service.
     “I was proud to accept this award,” said CCTA President Michael Thompson, who attended the National No-Tillage Conference and presented a breakout session for the event. “It goes to show how committed the farmer and rancher members are to conservation and soil stewardship.”
