[Video] Learning from the Past to Move Strip-Till Forward

For over 35 years Mike Petersen has been researching successful strip-tillage practices. The independent consultant and former NRCS soil scientist based in Greeley, Colo., says this multi-faceted practice is a cornerstone of the Conservation Tillage movement.

With benefits including the precision-based placement of nutrients right in the pathway of growing crop’s root system; savings of fuel, time, trips over the field and labor; the ability to boost root growth to obtain water and remnant nutrients deeper in the soil profile; and reduced soil erosion, the practices that were established in the 1970s are being pushed to greater degrees of success today.

In this session, Petersen will provide a look back at the roots of strip-tillage as well as a peek into the future.
