Strip-till Operation Thrives in Face of Heavy Regulation and High Costs

Tipton, CA dairyman and long-time CASI farmer member, Tom Barcellos, was featured in the Winter 2023 issue of Strip-till Farmer, a quarterly publication of the National No-till Farmer Association and Lessiter Publications.  The article details Tom's 23-year history as a strip-till trailblazer right here in California's San Joaquin Valley and describes how he came to find how strip-tillage "made everything a lot easier" at his 2,000 cow dairy just east of Highway 99 in Tulare County.  The Strip-till Farmer magazine article was written by Noah Newman when he came to California recently to interview Tom.  A copy of the article is attached below.
