Heavy Rains Bring Challenges for Strip-Tiller

Redwood Falls, Minn., strip-tiller Matt Tiffany says it’s been a challenging spring. “We started dry, but the optimism for an early planting ended about April 25,” he tells Tri-State Neighbor. “It was interesting to see the temperature differences in the cleaned strip versus between the strip, and I felt confident that my fall fertilizer applicator with the row cleaners was worth the effort. The tilled strips were slightly warmer than the cleaned no-till strips, but both were 4-7 degrees warmer than the areas between them.”
