Farmer Solves No-Till Challenges with Strip-Till
The Hefty Brothers tried switching half of their acres to no-till several years ago but ran into several problems. In this YouTube short, Brian Hefty explains why strip-till proved to be the solution to their challenges.
Busy Season Begins for Custom Strip-Tiller
As Carson Klosterman wraps up sugar beet and corn harvest in Wyndmere, N.D., he’s also preparing to strip-till as many fields as he can before winter. Klosterman is keeping busy with his custom strip-till business, StripTillForYou, which continues to grow. “We’re always looking for business,” he says. “I don’t have a fancy shop or advertise like crazy, but word of mouth keeps us pretty busy, which I think that speaks pretty loudly.” Read more about Klosterman’s strip-till journey in this Farm & Ranch Guide feature.

Illinois Strip-Tiller Wraps up 2025, Thankful for a Good Year
Shay Foulk of Ag View Solutions, and former Strip-Till Conference speaker, checks in from the cab as he makes his last field pass for 2025. “Harvest is done, got cover crops on every acre, what a good year. Don’t get too many years where you can go 35 days straight and get everything wrapped up,” Foulk says. How are things looking in your neck of the woods? Let me know at [email protected]. Hopefully everything went as smoothly for you as it did for Shay this fall!
That’s a wrap on 2025. Nitrogen will go down next year. All lime and fert spread. Will mow field edges etc but if nothing else got done I could sleep well. Going to eat a burrito the size of my head tonight and spend time with my family and then dive into the work of cleaning up… pic.twitter.com/xVRFIDkpBK
