Sometimes the best plan in strip-till is to plan for the unexpected. This is a philosophy Jerry Baysinger knows well after almost 20 years of strip-till. Baysinger strip-tills about 3,000 acres of corn and soybeans near Bruning, Neb., and was one of the first farmers to embrace strip-till in his area. One key to his long-term success is adapting to whatever Mother Nature throws at him, and adjusting his strip-till operation to build berms in fall, winter or spring.
