Subject: strip farming


Iowa
Has anyone worked on strip farming - like 6 rows of corn and 6 of soybeans - I've talked to a couple guys that have tried it on a small scale and they're seeing 30-40 bushel corn yield increase over whole fields. If so what is the optimum split - I've got a 12 row so it'd work better for a 12 / 12 split. There was a guy doing it in my area a couple years ago but he quit so he must not have seen anything. So to further clarify on a 160 ac field there would stil be 80 a of each crop just instead of 80 ac blocks 6-12 rows of corn then beans (would probably split planter by the according to row unit drive).
