Strip-till Farmer Podcast

What would you do if the axle on your strip-till bar snapped in the middle of a field while you were planting? Davenport, Iowa, farmer Robb Ewoldt turned this very problem into an experiment — one that ended up proving the difference in yield that strip-till can make compared to no-till. In this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Terrasym by NewLeaf Symbiotics, Robb shares the bushel-per-acre results of his unintentional trial, the other lessons learned over his years of strip-tilling, how he’s incorporating cover crops on some of the 2,000 acres he farms and how he’s teaching his nearby city neighbors about conservation agriculture and soil health.
