Reviving the Soil with Strip Till & Livestock
Luverne, Minn., strip-tiller Shawn Feikema checks in with a preview of his 2024 National Strip-Tillage Conference presentation. Check out the full program of this year's speakers here: https://ow.ly/AFJj50RHhSa
Each winter, Feikema asks himself 2 questions — how can he do more with less and how can he leave the farm in better shape than it was when he got it? The 3rd-generation farmer found an answer in 2016 with the switch from conventional tillage to strip-till and cover crops. Now his family strip-tills or no-tills 100% of its 7,000-acre corn, soybean, small grain and hay farm. It also operates a large cattle feedlot that markets about 6,000 head of cattle per year.
