On this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by DigiFarm, Andrew Focht takes us inside his strip-till operation in Villisca, Iowa.
Focht has increased his yields each year since switching to strip-till 2 years ago. He shares his nutrient management plan, which includes phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) applications in the fall, nitrogen (N) applications in the spring and variable rate N applications throughout the growing season. He explains how his strategies are helping him increase N efficiency and cut back on P and K by 30% while increasing yields to over 300 bushels per acre on some fields.
Focht also discusses the benefits of his unique starter fertilizer mix that includes liquid chicken manure, explains how cover crops play an integral role in his system and why networking is key when adopting strip-till.
