Think differentWhen a 2008 Extension strip-till demo opened Tim Koosmann’s mind to strip-till, he bought a Deere 1910 air cart and a 2510S strip-till air cart, “but auto-steer made it harder than it needed to be,” he says. “Stripping with RTK guidance showed off the advantages of straighter strips. It’s all about fewer passes and efficiency.”The west-central Minnesota farmer transitioned from ridge-till and rotated corn/soybeans to strip-tilling continuous corn with variable-rate P and K banding. The system gives him the best possible seedbeds, he says. “Now, because it’s working and I’ve reduced my inputs, I feel positioned for lower corn prices.”
