[Video] Putting Nutrient Management in its Place with Strip-Till

Skepticism is often a part of a strip-tiller’s journey — whether it’s investing in the right equipment, berm-building or making economic nutrient management decisions.

But results turn skepticism into optimism. Working as a strip-till advocate in the Chesapeake Bay area, Scott Hoober, co-owner of Hoober Inc., a 10-location farm equipment dealership, based in Intercourse, Pa., has seen interest in the practice increase.

For over 14 years, Hoober has been working with strip-tillers in the Mid-Atlantic region, conducting nutrient management trials with a local ag service provider on spring strip-till placement of a suspension fertilizer blend of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Hoober shares the results of the field research to include innovative equipment modifications to apply the abrasive “mud” solution, and how it’s provided an opportunity to increase strip-till adoption in the region.
