Does anyone utilize strip-tilling for their row crops in ND/central/northern MN?

I farm 750 acres of corn/soybeans/wheat in Northern MN and am wanting to learn more about the pros and cons of strip-tilling from folks who are currently doing it.

What ROI have they projected, and are they seeing the results?

10-75 bu per acre in corn

The only time I notill is when I get off my strips by accident. Been striptill since 2007. I have a wako 24 row 30" rig
