I used to no-till everything. Then started strip-tilling corn five years ago. It seems to have quite an advantage over no-tilled corn. I make the strips in the spring, on the same pass apply 28% nitrogen and some liquid starter fertilizer. Sometimes I follow the strip machine with the planter, some years I wait for the strips to dry out some. It just depends on the moisture conditions when the calander says "plant corn". You don"t have that option with no-till.
I know the yields don"t surpass conventional tillage every year, but some years they do. I also know the runoff water from my fields is virtually clear every year. Alot of my neighbors can"t say that about their fields.
I am not saying it is what everyone should do, only that this is what I am doing. To each their own !
