When thinking about the different pieces that make up a successful strip-till system, it’s easy to focus on the aboveground elements, because those are the most visible throughout the growing season.
But beneath the soil surface is where the benefits of a strip-till system start — nurturing soil health by promoting microbial and organic activity to naturally produce needed nutrients.
Developing a sustainable ecological environment is critical to maintaining and evolving an efficient and productive strip-till system, according to Jill Clapperton, soil scientist with Rhizoterra Inc., in Spokane, Wash.
In today’s Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Thurston Mfg., we welcome Jill to share her experience-based advice for improving soil health utilizing cover crops, how to bolster organic matter content and understand the correlation between crop diversity and nutrient availability.
