Making Strip-Till Work with Only 7 Inches of Rain
Robert Boyle
Grower, Coolidge, Ariz.
Strip-tiller Robert Boyle deals with drought conditions every year in Coolidge, Ariz. His 1,200-acre corn, cotton, alfalfa and dairy operation gets only about 7 inches of rain — if he’s lucky — and it often comes over the course of 2-3 storms.
Boyle tackles the challenge head on by embracing a strip-till mindset for water management. He details his approach to strip-tilling in dry conditions, including the usage of diverse cover crop mixes to preserve soil structure and water, and cutting-edge technology like autonomous irrigation.
