Aberdeen MS | The strips I leave are about 8" wide...give or take. I use a marker on my strip tiller....or use last years corn stalk row. Either way, I have a mark to follow up with the planter. The strips are evident enough, even without a "mark"... I have been successful enough over the past 3 years that staying on the strip is basically a non issue.
I too have a mounted 8 row planter. I did have a pull type previously to last year. Out of 450 acres planted last year, I think maybe 5 or 6 times that I actually knew I had jumped the strip. Really a non issue in the scope of things.
Trailing type planter is more forgiving, it just wants to stay in the strip and will draft to a point to do so. Not quite so much with the mounted, but it does "let you know" when you are out after you get the "feel" on the tractor when you are on the strip. | |

planting on strip-till strips -- how do you do it?
