On this edition of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, Shawn Olsen shares how he strip-tills his own 4,500-acres before custom strip-tilling another 20,000 acres in Hayti, S.D.
On top of farming 4,500 acres with his dad, David, brother, Kelly and son, Carter, Shawn Olsen also runs a custom strip-till business that covers up to 25,000 acres in east central South Dakota. The strip-till calendar starts relatively early on Olsen’s farm — he starts making strips as soon as soybean harvest wraps up in late September.
Olsen explains how he’s able to cover so much ground in such a short amount of time, details his approach to making strips and maximizing nutrient use efficiency in the fall and explains why strip-till is on the rise in his neck of the woods.
