Take part in our 8th annual Strip-Till Practices Survey which evaluates cropping practices, fertilizer application methods, berm-building techniques and precision technology adoption.

Whatever cover crop you have growing into your fields — clover, radish, vetch or something else —selecting the right herbicide burndown program for termination will help you start clean this growing season.

The greatest of growing seasons has little effect on Trent Sanderson’s approach to cover crops across his family’s 2,000-acre corn, soybean and wheat operation in Clare, Ill. In his mind, more can always be done to maximize the value of every field, whether it’s a new seed variety, application method or frugal machinery investments.

Creativity is a cornerstone of imagination, and this innovative nature applies to strip-tillers who experiment with cover crops. Still a relatively new practice, the incorporation of different cover crop varieties into strip-till is an emerging trend and one that often prompts as many questions as answers from farmers.
