North Bend, Neb. strip-tiller Chris Armstrong was just over the age of 30 when he made the switch to strip-till in 2014. That first year, he also decided to enroll in the Pioneer Encirca nutrient management program, investing $10 per acre in creating a database with a goal of more accurately applying fertilizer based on field-specific prescriptions.

This week we're joined by Lowpoint, Illinois farmer, Todd Mooberry, offers some tips and equipment strategies to help minimize erosion concerns on rolling ground, better time fertilizer application and utilize cover crops in strip-till.

Walking fields with strip-tillers, we’ll often end up in some of their top producing acres, digging our hands into thriving soils checkered with worm holes and covered with decomposing crop residue.
