Building Spring Strips in Late May
The jovial Jon Stevens checks in again from his farm in Rock Creek, Minn., as he continues strip-tilling ahead of corn planting. Ride along with Jon as he runs his strip-till rig into the night.
Fall Strip-Till vs. Spring Strip-Till
While Stevens builds strips in the spring, many strip-tillers take the fall route. This RealAgriculture video from a couple years ago breaks down the key differences between fall strip-till and spring strip-till.
Conservation Ag Community Mourns Loss of Soil Health Legend
A great one has left us. Soil Health and Cover Crop legend Dave Brandt died unexpectedly as a result of injuries from a severe car crash. No-Till Farmer honors the life and legacy of Brandt with some of his top articles, interviews and presentations over the years. "David’s stature loomed large, but what he accomplished is what made him a giant in the soil health and regenerative farming movement," reads a statement from Understanding Ag, a regenerative agricultural consulting company that Brandt helped found in 2018. "He had a positive impact in the lives of many, and was a sincere and faithful steward of the land God blessed him with, transforming it from a degraded resource into an ecological wonder.
