Chequ{\'e}n Farm in Concepci{\'o}n, Chile, has not been plowed for 38 years and has been in continuous no-tillage for the last 19 years. Carlos Crovetto was invited to present information about his farming operation on Chequ{\'e}n farm. He presents various observations and measurements of soil changes that have occurred after the transition to no-tillage. Many positive changes in soil quality and productivity have been observed. Chequ{\'e}n Farm has become an international example of how no-tillage can be used to enhance long-term agricultural sustainability.}, issn = {0022-4561}, URL = {https://www.jswconline.org/content/53/3/194}, eprint = {https://www.jswconline.org/content/53/3/194.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Soil and Water Conservation} }
