"No Till Farming" of cotton and food the answer to buying locally made clothing and food, plus steel manufacturing in Detroit to make these.

What are strip till and conservation tillage?

Strip till

Stip tillage is a relatively new form of conservation tillage initially developed by Progressive Farm Products. During the last 20 years, the techniques of no-till and in-row sub soiling have been combined to produce a valuable line of strip till equipment.

Strip till preserves all of the crop residue left from the previous year's harvest. Only a narrow strip of this residue is removed in which the seed is planted. Mounds are created in this narrow strip during fertilizer application in the fall, creating a warmer, drier seedbed.

"It fools the corn into thinking it was field cultivated," says Vern Williamson, director of marketing for Progressive Farm Products. "Our rule of thumb is to run [the knives] 6.5 in. deep at 6.5 mph to get good fracturing of the soil."
