The Thomases, Mike Sr. and Mike Jr., farm 1,700 acres in the steeply sloping Skyrocket Hills near Prescott, WA. Crops are winter wheat/ spring wheat/ chemical fallow. The Thomases direct-seed all their crops using chisel-type no-till drills they designed and built themselves. They are working to eventually direct-seed without burning. Series made possible by grant from the USDA Western Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program, with additional funds from STEEP III (Solutions to Economic and Environmental Problems). 8 pages.
