Wanatah, Ind., strip-tiller Jeff Herrold, who strip-tills 3,500 acres of corn with his brother, Paul, learned a lot about nutrient uptake efficiency from a 70-acre test plot in 2017. The total program included around 250 pounds of nitrogen (N), 75 pounds of phosphorous (P), 80 pounds of potassium (K) and 55 pounds of sulfur and produced an average yield of 275 bushels per acre with some spots breaking the 300-bushel barrier. He has since become a firm believer in the benefits of spacing out fertilizer applications throughout the growing season and dialing back N rates rather than applying everything up front.

“We’ve been able to improve each year, by adding cover crops, leveraging collected field data to manage inputs and making modifications to our planters that all supported our strip-till operation,” he says. Herrold shares his strip-till playbook for highyielding corn, including experience-based tips, techniques and data from his latest on-farm trials.
