Update: 2025-02-06
Description
On this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, first-generation strip-tiller Eric Reed shares his formula for high yields with a limited budget in poor soils.
Eric Reed had to figure it out on his own when he started strip-tilling corn on the Tennessee/Alabama border. His first yield was 170 bushels per acre in 2015. Four years later, he was up to 260 bushels per acre. And shortly after that, he broke the Alabama dryland record with 316 bushels per acre.
The Elora, Tenn., native shares the keys to his success and lessons learned along the way, including insights on equipment, compaction, hybrid selection, plant populations, fertility, planter prep and more.
