Jim Hershey

Jim Hershey owns and operates a 600 acre livestock and grain farm located in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania and has been operating a Crop Management Service that covers several thousand acres. Jim is presently serving as President of the Pa No-Till Alliance where their mission is to promote No-Till, Cover Crops and Soil Health for generations to come. He has been practicing No-Till for more than 25 years and Cover Cropping for 15 years.

Mr. Hershey's operation has been a leader in Cover Crop Interseeding where they have been marketing interseeders commercially. One has planted several thousand acres in N.Y. the last 3 years with great success. Jim has also installed a ZRX roller on his corn planter to be able to roll and plant into green cover. This has helped reduce weed pressure, less herbicide, build organic matter while conserving moisture and nutrients.
