When it comes to berm building, Havana, N.D., farmer Joe Breker prefers to let nature do his strip-tilling.
The veteran no-tiller and strip-tiller has invested in a bio-strip-till system, planting corn into cover crop rows from the prior fall. He uses the method prior to no-tilling corn, sowing high-residue cover crops — primarily turnips and radishes, along with flax and faba beans — into wheat stubble, drilling between what will be next year’s corn rows.
Breker shares how he’s reduced input costs by improving organic matter, banding fertilizer and seeding cover crops, along with the results of the recent combination of 60-inch corn with his bio-strip-till system.
