Proving ‘It Won’t Work Here’ Wrong with Strip-Till, Cattle & Crop Rotations

On this edition of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, the jovial Jon Stevens gives us a peek inside his Rock Creek, Minn., strip-till operation. Stevens began his relentless pursuit for healthy soils a little over a decade ago when he ditched conventional tillage for strip-till and no-till. In this presentation from the 2023 National Strip-Tillage Conference, Stevens details his systematic approach to building soil health using strip-till, cattle and cover crops, and shares results from on-farm trials to illustrate how farm profitability doesn’t always equate to being the highest yielder.
