Yields aren’t the only metric Mark Dobson uses to measure success on his Donnellson, Iowa, farm. “It’s not just about increasing yields, it’s about net dollars and learning where my profitable bushels are,” he says.
Dobson also says he’s learned more in the past 5 years from his organic strip-till system — about micronutrients, application timing, weed control and cover crops — than he has throughout most of his career as a custom strip-tiller and agronomist. Dobson shares his game-changing “a-ha moments” and discusses how to define and increase the profit in your strip-till operation.
You’ll Learn: How to identify & address the “Achilles’ heel” in your operation & rethink your entire management plan to increase your peracre profitability without breaking the bank.
