My opinion, probably not. Guessing you need 2 bushel to make that pay for fuel, labor, and equipment replacement cost? We fall strip till 30" row beans, does it pay, probably not, last year in our test it broke even. But it helps our soil dry out better and hard to put value on that, dry spring probably not much, can't see it hurting either, but in a wet year it really helps dry out which can be the difference between may 1st and may 20th planting date.
Breaking even can still add money when u figure your paying for an asset you can sell... Don't forget to account for that too.
Also, I'm betting your strip trials you planted the same day after the notion ground dried out? I'm betting your strips are paying off or at worst breaking even Ty... Keep it up imo |
