Smart Farming: Strip Tilling for Better Yields and Soil Health

Take a close-up look at modern strip-tilling practices featuring a John Deere 9300 and Kuhn Gladiator 1205. This video demonstrates how precision nutrient placement and conservation tillage work together to enhance soil health while maintaining farm efficiency.

Watch as we follow Illinois farmer Tony Stierwalt during his fall strip-tilling operation applying:
• 150 lbs/acre (370 kg/ha) monoammonium phosphate (MAP)
• 10 lbs/acre (25 kg/ha) micronutrients (zinc, boron, manganese)
• Covering 32 acres/hour (13 ha/hour)

Learn why strip-tilling is gaining popularity among progressive farmers:
✓ Precise nutrient placement at 6 inches (15 cm) depth
✓ 60-75% residue coverage for soil protection
✓ Reduced spring fieldwork
✓ Fuel and time savings
✓ Better environmental stewardship

Special thanks to Tony Stierwalt for sharing his farming practices and allowing us to document his strip-till operation. His willingness to showcase these conservation practices helps advance sustainable agriculture.
