Strip-till operation

Quentin bought a strip-till fertilizer applicator last year. It has been a good addition to the farm.  He is able to put dry fertilizer and anhydrous in rows right where the crops can use them.  This should make the fertilizer more available to the plants when they are young.  Also, the shanks can help break up any hard pans in the row without having to plow up the whole field.  He's been spending his days getting it set up and might even do some fertilizer application yet this fall if things dry out.
