What Can Farmers Do About Climate Change? Strip-Till
2016-11-07 16:07:18| National Farmers Union
By Alexis Dunnum, NFU Intern As discussed in the recent Climate Column post on no-till farming, practicing alternatives to tilling can increase the amount of organic matter in the soil, allowing for water retention even during dry periods. Another tilling alternative that has the many of the same soil benefits is strip-till. Strip-till is a conservation […]

Research shows benefits of strip-till
2015-07-24 17:02:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Source: American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, Soil Science Society of America Researchers find improved soil properties compared to no-till method We saw a consistent benefit of strip-till over no-till for these soils we were working with, says Fabián Fernández, University of Minnesota. For those soils where strip-till would be appropriate, it can be a powerful method that benefits the soil by both working to help conserve soil and improving soil physical properties. read more

A strip-till journey
2015-02-03 19:27:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Farmer overcomes variable soils and bad weather to achieve strip-till success. Strip-till has improved soil structure on Sheldon Stevermer's farm to the point where it can manage extreme rains and heavy corn residue. Three years ago, I realized I didnt need to freshen the strips in the spring; crusting was no longer a problem, says the Wells, Minn., farmer. read more
Shift to strip-till: residue management, benefits, challenges and tips
2014-09-17 19:15:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Farmer succeeds by turning residue into valuable organic matter. Tim Koosmann switched to strip-till from ridge-till five years ago to capture the efficiencies of phosphorus and potassium banding in continuous corn. Real-time kinematic (RTK) satellite navigation makes it relatively simple, and hes building long-term soil organic matter and productivity. read more
