Strip-Till & Sulfur Pay Off in Sandy Soils

This Ohio Farmer feature dives into Andrew and Martha Winters’ strip-till operation in Sandusky County, and recaps their 2024 growing season, highlighted by a boost from sulfur. “We put 20 pounds of liquid sulfur on our beans at planting, which resulted in a 4- to 4.5-bushel-per-acre increase in bean yield,” Andrew explains. “We plant corn and soybeans with the same planter, a Kinze 3600. So, we had our corn two-by-two coulters on this planter while we planted soybeans, and used those coulters to inject the sulfur.”
