When visiting with strip-tillers, I always like to discover their motivating factors for adopting the practice. For some, there was an ‘a-ha’ moment and defining circumstances that prompted a change to their tillage practices.
For others, it was a more gradual realization that the way they’d historically farmed wasn’t in the best interests of their soil health and crop needs.
But whatever the reason, strip-tillers all have a starting point and a story to tell. This is certainly true of Northfield, Minn., farmer David Legvold, who began his journey from conventional tillage to strip-till nearly 4 decades ago.
In today’s Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Blu-Jet, we welcome David to share the details of his ongoing strip-till odyssey to include equipment modifications, residue management preferences and fertility placement practices.
The Strip-Till Farmer podcast is brought to you by Thurston Manufacturing.
For more than four decades, Thurston Manufacturing has been an innovator in fertilizer injection and conservation tillage equipment. Over that time, large-acre farmers have found “Blu-Jet” to be synonymous with durability, low maintenance and return on investment. A founding Title Sponsor of the National Strip-Tillage Conference, Blu-Jet’s Strip-Tracker was the first strip-till implement to combine on-board fertilizer carrying capacities with a stretched and staggered row unit.
