Subject: RE: strip farming


Central Iowa
I have some experience in this practice also, 6rows would seem to be the "sweet spot", although most farmers want to use larger equipment (I use 12 row, which seems small by today's standards). Weed control was always the biggest challenge before RR technology.

I have not seed much of a yeild increase on corn nor a yield reduction in beans. I have used this practice mainly for soil conservation. Hopefully I can get some pictures posted.
