With the new year comes new nominations, and you can help recognize a strip-tiller for their hard work.

Strip-Till Farmer and Montag Manufacturing are seeking 2024 Strip-Till Innovator Award nominations from farmers, equipment and input dealers, manufacturers, and other agribusinesses to honor outstanding leaders of the conservation-tillage industry.

The awards are open to individual growers in the US and Canada who have made a significant contribution to the advancement of strip-till farming, regardless of crops grown or brand of equipment, seed, or crop protection products used.

The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, January 31, 2024.

The award winner will be recognized at the 11th annual National Strip-Tillage Conference, to be held August 8–9, 2024, in Madison, Wisconsin.

What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring

Video: What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring



This is the first episode of a new behind-the-scenes series on our farm.

Today I’m checking behind the planter looking at planting depth, seed-to-soil contact, and making sure we’re placing seed into moisture, even in a dry spring.

Everything can look good from the cab, but this is where you find out what’s really happening.

We also ran into a prescription issue that slowed us down, which is a good reminder that even when conditions are ideal, the little things still matter.

If you’re planting right now, it’s worth taking a few minutes to check behind your planter.
