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.
