Bill Preller says strip-till is the future of farming because he believes it’s the only soil management practice that optimizes agronomics, environmental concerns and economics in most soil types.

Strip-tillage has been a viable option in North American corn and soybean production for over 30 years, and its use accelerated when RTK guidance became more commonplace. But what are the keys to capturing the most value from targeted nutrient placement — understanding the proper depth, delivery and distance of placement from the row.

At Environmental Tillage Systems we often get the question, “What should my strip-tilled zones look like?” The aspects I evaluate in a strip-tilled zone include: residue management, soil structure and nutrient placement. 

Environmental Tillage Systems (ETS), the creator of the SoilWarrior, announces the launch of the all new ZoneNinja, a dual-purpose tool that can freshen zones one day and convert to side-dress the next

New product additions include the joint Salford/Orthman designed Tracker Nutrient Trailer and the Valmar ST-10 Fertilizer System.
