Extension Educator Tyler Williams helps producers manage the impact weather and climate have on agricultural production, not only in Lancaster County but across the world. He organized and was a presenter at the third annual Successful Farmer Series. 46 individuals attended one or more of the 6 workshops covering 15 topics, including weather and crops. Attendees estimated a $16 per acre value gained by participating in the series. Tyler recently traveled to the Czech Republic to advise University researchers trying to implement no-till farming and cover crops as a way to reduce risk to ongoing drought.
