On this edition of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Sound Agriculture, Elora, Tenn., native Eric Reed shares the keys to his high-yielding success. Reed grows corn, soybeans and cotton on the Tennessee/Alabama border. Despite limited resources and soil that’s “as red as can be,” Reed increased his yields dramatically over a couple years, including a 100-bu./acre bump with corn.

Kansas State University Extension reviews the yield benefits of drought-tolerant corn hybrids to maximize production per unit of available water in dryland environments.
