The phrase “change is constant” is an appropriate one to summarize the ever-evolving strip-till operation that Megan Wallendal and her husband, Eric, manage at Alsum Farms, in Grand Marsh, Wis.
After nearly a decade of strip-tilling a variety of crops full-time, the third generation farmers still view their system as a work-in-progress, but a progressive one.
From transitioning acres to organic strip-till production, capitalizing on high-value crop production and conducting data-driven nutrient and cover crop field trials, the Wallendals have consistently pushed return on investment on strip-tilled acres, relying on replicated, proven data rather than the status quo.
They share the evolving techniques and intricate experimentation that has shaped their strip-till expectations and where they see the system going next.
