Technology editor Noah Newman catches up with Dave Sender from Environmental Tillage Systems (ETS) for a conversation about the versatility of the company’s SoilWarrior and how it can be used for seeding cover crops and soybeans. Sender also offers some pre-harvest advice for strip-tillers before they start making strips this fall.

On this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, we ride along with Marlette, Mich., strip-tiller Ryan Shaw as he makes spring strips with his Environmental Tillage Systems SoilWarrior.

Ryan and Melissa Shaw of Marlette, Mich., had their fair share of anxiety when going all in on strip-till in the fall of 2014. It was a major investment, and there was a sizable learning curve after a lifetime of conventional farming.

2020 was anything but typical. But for farmers who got an early start on planting, managed to navigate extreme weather and put down the right fertility, it turned out pretty great, especially for those who were able to capitalize on improved crop prices and earn top placements in the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) Yield Contest.
