Best Looking Strip-Till Berms of the Year?
Check out this photo from Jonathan Dansel on Twitter as he builds strips in late March. This looks like an early contender for “the title for prettiest strip-till berms.”
What Song Best Describes Your Attitude to the 2023 Planting Season?
Agweb polled farmers for the best song that describes their attitude to the 2023 planting season. My vote’s for Whitesnake: Here I go again on my own, strip-tilling the only rows I’ve ever knowwwwwwnnnn.
Strip-Tilling Cotton Ground in Texas Panhandle

Benefits, Challenges of Strip-Till Discussed at Alberta Pulse Growers Seminar
John Kolk, managing partner of Kolk Farm Conrich, spoke about his switch to strip-till during a soil health panel discussion hosted by Alberta Pulse Growers. “Other than one quarter where it was too hard to cut the beans in, we are pretty happy overall with strip-tilling beans,” Kolk said. “I’d love to be able to do it in the fall but we don’t always have the time to do that, and until you know where your seed canola goes, you don’t know where the rest of your crops go.” Kolk also talks about the potential downside to strip-tillage in this recap article from Grainews.
