It's not expensive to get into strip-till. The money that you would spend on a disk Ripper of purchasing it and operating it and then the money you would spend on a finisher doing a couple passes and then the money you would spend on broadcast fertilizer versus a strip-till rig we're at today's fertilizer prices you can't afford to not be stripped tilling. How can a system that can grow the same or better crops, save you $100 per acre in investment not be affordable?
If we have good active soil life the residue was a non-issue by late summer most of it is gone. As far as planting through it that is really easy either run row cleaners or don't and just run the planter a little bit deeper like an inch inch and a half versus a half inch and you're good to go Yield does not determine success when trying new systems
UAN plus humid acid for 3 years in fall... VRT Lime program. Now I have issues with no residue by June.
was nitrogen broadcasted, sprayed with fan nozzles or 2x2 with the planter for the trial?
Vertical tillage works best for corn residue it doesn’t go deep in the soil but enough to chop up and breakdown the residue
