It’s been almost 35 years since Strip-Till Farmer Hall of Famer Cliff Roberts introduced many no-tillers to the concept of strip-till at the inaugural NNTC. Since then, strip-till has taken off as a popular practice, with many no-tillers adding it to their conservation toolbox. Dysart, Iowa, strip-tiller Pete Youngblut sets farmers up for strip-till success every day as owner of Youngblut Ag, an independent farm equipment dealership. In this strip-till 101 course, Youngblut covers the basics of getting started with strip-till, including what to expect in the first year, the benefits of the practice and potential landmines to avoid.
You’ll Learn: The critical steps to take when adopting strip-till, what to consider when shopping for a strip-till rig & practical tips for success.
