8’ No-Till Seeder Demonstration Program

Pend Oreille Conservation District is excited to offer our 8-foot No-Till Seeder as part of our Demonstration Equipment Program.

This program gives local landowners and producers the opportunity to try no-till planting at no cost while exploring conservation practices that build soil health and improve land productivity.

What is a No-Till Seeder? 

A no-till seeder plants seeds directly into existing vegetation or crop residue, reducing soil disturbance and erosion while helping maintain soil structure and moisture. This approach is ideal for:

  • Establishing cover crops
  • Renovating pastures
  • Planting native species or forage mixes
  • Reducing soil compaction and improving soil health
How the Demonstration Program Works 

Our No-Till Seeder is available for free use by landowners, but participation requires:

  1. Pre-Use Consultation – Meet with POCD staff to plan your seeding project and learn how to operate the drill effectively.
  2. Demonstration Record – Document your use of the drill for reporting and educational purposes.
  3. Media Participation – Agree to brief documentation (photos, quotes, or testimonials) so POCD can share the results and inspire other landowners.

This program is designed to promote conservation practices and provide real-world demonstrations for our community.
