Texas Farmer Fights Drought with Strip-Till
In this interview with Farm Progress, Lamb County, Texas strip-tiller Preston Huguley says he’s barely gotten any rain since last summer. But when it does rain, his soil does a good job capturing and retaining it thanks to his usage of strip-till and cover crops, Huguley says.
Iowa Grower Has Unique Plan to Protect Family Farm’s Legacy
Fifth-generation Iowa farmer Gene Tinker says the future is up in the air for his family’s farm. “I was so busy, I was working off the farm,” Tinker says. “I wasn’t even thinking about the future.” Now, at 65 years old, he doesn’t know exactly who will take over the family farm with no kids and no successors. In this KCRG feature, Tinker shares his unique plan of attack to keep the farm going well after he’s gone.

Strip-Till Cuts Down on Pain at the Pump
