Strip-till is an imperfect farming practice and some variables can’t be conquered. But strip-tillers can curb the impact Mother Nature has on their crops by putting in place a flexible, progressive system, which may include a customized cover-cropping strategy, well-timed strip building and use of implement guidance technology.
Each of these areas saw growth during the 2016 cropping season based on analysis of the 4th Annual Strip-Till Operational Practices Benchmark Study. This one-of-a-kind report tracked emerging trends and annual contrasts in the tools and techniques strip-tillers are utilizing in their operations.
During this free, live webinar event sponsored by Ingersoll, Jack Zemlicka, managing editor of Strip-Till Farmer, shared and evaluated the results of the 2017 benchmark study, based on the responses of nearly 450 farmers from 20 states and Canada. This included a review of shifting equipment preferences, berm-building strategies, fertilization practices and precision technology adoption.
