[Video] Getting Started in Strip-Till: Defining How, When & Why

When making the transition to strip-till, knowing where to start can be a barrier to success. Selecting the right equipment to match soil conditions, creating an efficient fertility program and properly managing residue are early challenges than can be overcome with education and experimentation.

Hanson shares his strip-till successes — and failures — com- pares spring and fall strip-till, row unit setups and advice on how to avoid common mistakes made when transitioning to strip-till.
