More Continuous No-Till Needed
Dan Towery called on growers to shoot for higher profitability by transitioning to continuous no-till. The former staffer at the Conservation Tillage Information Center estimated only 10-15% of U.S. cropland has been continuously no-tilled for over 5 years.
Towery says any yield drag with continuous no-till is due to poor management decisions during the transition.
Strip-Tilling Still Another Option
Jim Kinsella, a widely known no-tiller, advocated the use of strip-tilling to take full advantage of the warm, dry seedbed of conventional tilling while also reaping the environmental benefits of no-tilling.
The Lexington, Ill., grower suggests fall strip-tilling ahead of corn provides low-cost insurance against the slow growth in a cold and wet spring.
