[Video] Strip-Tilling Corn into a Perennial Living Mulch

Charles Martin and Andrew Bowman farm near each other outside of Oneida, Ill., in the northwest portion of the state. Both have done on-farm and development research research trials to identify more sustainable farming practices.

Martin and Bowman discuss strip-tilling corn into Kura clover, a perennial living mulch that has been shown to be an ecologically sound, effective weed suppression method. They discuss equipment and methods used to simultaneously plant corn and the cover crop, the fertilizer program, results and lessons learned, as well as future experiments.
