| Jim (or anybody else), I'm struggling a bit with my no-till corn and soybeans too (mostly soybeans). Have you ever done a post describing some of the specifics of 'strip till'? Specifically I'm wondering how deep and wide is the strip, how much 'mixing' is happening, if these characteristics are variable, what your observations are on 'heavy' and 'light' strip till would be. Can a pre-pass with a coulter/rowcleaner make a black enough strip to be the same as a an actual tilled strip? I suppose these questions are highly dependent on too many factors to even answer the questions, but any of your observations for us 'Fringe' guys would be appreciated.
This is on my mind because my side-by-side fields, one of which is wheat stubble and one of which was burned off, is pretty significant difference. Full tillage is an option, but I'm so happy with zero tilling everything else I hate to mess it up. | |
