33-year-old Alex Harrell, who grows corn, soybeans, wheat and watermelons across 3,000 acres in Smithville, Ga., learned a lot from one of his biggest mentors — Randy Dowdy.
We posed the following questions to our readers in the Strip-Till Farmer email discussion group:Do you use dry or liquid fertilizer? What are the positives and negatives of each, and do you use carbon-based fertilizers?
Motivated by his mentor’s success, Harrell formulated what he calls the perfect plan for chasing high-yielding soybeans, with an assist from his crop consultant and fellow strip-tiller, Caleb Traugh of Blakely, Ga.
Attendees hoping to see the latest and greatest strip-till equipment did not go home disappointed. Here’s a look at some of the top strip-till innovations we came across this week.
