Lessiter Media editors Frank Lessiter and Mike Lessiter had the interviewing tables turned on them this week. The father-son pair joined Dennis Michelsen and Michael Musselman – co-hosts of the NewFields Ag's new Podcast – “Innovations in Your Fields!” for a fascinating discussion and a walk down a half-century “memory lane” on the history of no-tillage and how No-Till Farmer served as the voice for the maverick practice to grow to 110 million acres of U.S. cropland. The podcast includes lively discussion -- and laughs -- as the Lessiter duo comment on no-till’s adoption, business succession, innovation and Frank’s vision and principles as a family-run publisher.
