Art Schultheis and his father, Carroll, were among the first Whitman County, Washington, growers to use a no-till drill. Both have been recognized for their work in conservation: Carroll in 1985, and Art in 1995. Art now uses a direct-seed system on all 1,150 acres, on land ranging from flat to 40 percent slopes, in the Colton area. Art's crops are winter wheat, spring grain, spring legume, spring dry peas, and bluegrass. He is determined to find a way to grow bluegrass without burning his fields. Photographs show fields, equipment, and healthy soil. 8 pages.
