Wes Arseneau is a young farmer from Iroquois County, Ill., who spearheaded the change from conventional tillage to strip-till and no-till on his family's poorly drained soils.
"I was conditioned to believe that you couldn't strip-till unless you had good drainage," he says. "Everyone told me that. I went along with it for a long time until I learned that you don't have to have the perfect soils. You don't have to farm in 300-bushel territory to make strip-till work. In our experiences, it seems like it works even better in the marginal stuff."
