Strip-Till: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

Joey Hanson has seen the good, bad and ugly sides of strip-till, both in his own farming operation and while custom strip-tilling in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. The Elk Point, S.D., farmer and crop consultant shared his strip-till advice during one of the highest-rated sessions of the 2015 conference. In the decade since, Hanson has custom strip-tilled over 100,000 acres in the fall and spring.

He returns with brand-new insights from his strip-till journey — on equipment setups, fertility placement, common landmines to avoid and more — to help both beginners and strip-till veterans maximize their odds of success.

You’ll Learn: Practical observations on more than 100,000 strip-till acres that alert you to ways to boost efficiency & profitability, set achievable strip-till goals with the right equipment & fertility plans, & proven residue management tips for consistent berms.
