The National Strip Tillage Conference attracted farmers from throughout the country. Ty Fickenscher, a custom grower in Nebraska, talked about intercropping. “We broke away from the traditional cropping practices to try and drive yield. Relay cropping we’re trying to incorporate into the field as well.” A companion crop is grown between the rows of soybeans. Fickenscher says this improves soil health and assists with weed and insect control. “Profitability is the main thing we want out of this.”
