On this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Environmental Tillage Systems (ETS), we catch up with Mercer, Mo., strip-tiller Galt Porter for a conversation about his award-winning 405-bushel corn yield.

The 27-year-old is the reigning national NCGA Yield Contest champion in the strip-till non-irrigated class. Porter shares the keys to his high-yielding success and reveals how strip-till has been a game-changer for his family’s operation. The 5th-generation farmer also details his nutrient management strategies, which include split nitrogen (N) applications, and goes over the top lessons learned from his national championship yield that will influence how he manages the rest of his acres.
