| i am about 150 mi. straight north of you up by ortonville, then east 20-25 mi. i think that the soilwarrior will do fine in corn on corn, but like bauer said it is a two pass system, one in the fall to open up the ground and fracture it and one in the spring to prep the ground. he said for waseca he was going to put on the spring blades to get a more appealing mound made as the people in in the crowd all want a perfect looking mound to plant in like it had been worked like conventional farming. i think that the people that have conventional farmed and came to this field day to see if strip-tilling would work were probably disappointed in the way the strips looked, not knowing what mother nature would do over winter to make that mound more mellow by spring. i think gene and dean with the strip-cat machine summed it up best that the strip was the first part of the system and the corn root going down that strip and finding the right fert. is the more important aspect in strip-tilling. | |
