While growers were moving toward no-tilled soybeans in a big way during the 1990s, no-tilled corn acres remained somewhat flat. Many farmers feared problems when they tried to no-till corn into cold, wet ground covered with residue. As a result, strip-till soon emerged as a compromise.
Let’s go way back. We’ve been farming for a long time, and we’ve been tilling for a long time. We need to ask ourselves this question — why are we doing what we’re doing?
