Strip-Tillers Debate Fall vs. Spring Strip-Till

Here’s a throwback to an older article from FarmProgress discussing the pros and cons of fall and spring strip-till. “In the fall there’s risk of nitrogen loss, especially if soil temperature is above 50 degrees F and enough time passes before planting to allow fall-applied nitrogen to be lost,” says Iowa State agronomist Mahdi Al-Kaisi. “In spring strip-till, wet conditions create large clods and large spaces between soil clods that can allow nitrogen to escape as well.” Dewitt, Iowa, strip-tiller Chris Bowman sees the benefits of both fall and spring strip-till. Agronomically, he prefers placing nutrients in a spring strip, but logistically, fall is much better because he can just “pull in and plant” in the spring.
