Plans for no-till roller free for the downloading: Rugged yet elegant design lets crafters turn metal into dynamic tool for saving fuel, cutting chemicals and applying crop rotations

This article highlights the Rodale Institute's development of the no-till cover crop roller and the ability to access the plans for this technology through the website. The machine was developed for sustainable crop systems, and improves conservation through no-till technology that allows the cover crop to remain intact while planting another crop simultaneously. In addition, this implementation of soil conservation also saves fuel and other input costs.
