Strip-Till Farmer Podcast Strip-Till Farmer

On this edition of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by DigiFarm, Andrew Focht takes us inside his strip-till operation in Villisca, Iowa.

Focht has increased his yields each year since switching to strip-till 2 years ago. He shares his nutrient management plan, which includes phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) applications in the fall, nitrogen (N) applications in the spring and variable rate N applications throughout the growing season.

Strip-tiller John Hanson gets creative with his strip-till rig on this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by DigiFarm.

John Hanson switched to strip-till a few years ago to save money on fuel and labor costs and increase the moisture-holding capacity of the soils on his 1,600-acre farm in north central Iowa. He’s found a way to be even more efficient by planting soybeans with his Environmental Tillage Systems (ETS) SoilWarrior.

On this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by DigiFarm, we go 1-on-1 with Westville, Ind., strip-tiller Jeff Herrold for a conversation about nutrient management, cover crops, strip-till equipment and more!

In recent years, Herrold has become a firm believer in spacing out his fertilizer applications to maximize uptake, while also marginally dialing back rates. Herrold shares some recent adjustments he’s made to his nutrient management strategies and how he’s applying N up to 4 different times and ways throughout the growing season.

On this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, veteran agronomist Michael Petersen reacts to new data revealed for the first time from the 2024 Strip-Till Farmer Benchmark Study.

How do your strip-till practices compare to hundreds of other farmers across all regions of the U.S.? You’re about to find out as technology editor Noah Newman shares results from the 2024 Strip-Till Farmer benchmark survey.

In this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, we honor the life and legacy of the late Bill Northey with a look back at his keynote presentation from the 2015 National Strip-Tillage Conference about applying science and technology to improve strip-till operations.
