As crop margins continue to tighten, growers want to see more from the fertility dollars they're already spending, and some agronomists say micronutrients deserve a closer look.

At the National Strip-Tillage Conference, AgroLiquid Regional Sales Agronomist John Leif will take an in-depth look at the nutrients that may make a difference in a crop, your soil’s capacity to hold those nutrients, and the percent base saturation, pH and other factors that affect soil health. He will also review the best strip-till applications to set you up for success.

In this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by the Pluribus Lite from Dawn Equipment, John Leif, a regional agronomist at AgroLiquid, explains the basics of soil testing, some common mistakes farmers make when soil testing, when to apply nutrients, how to determine if you should band vs. broadcast and much more.

Recently, Strip-Till Farmer editors caught up with four strip-tillers in a roundtable talk sponsored by AgroLiquid.
