Hundreds Exchange Nutrient Management, Equipment & Soil Health Strategies at 2025 National Strip-Tillage Conference

Nearly 400 farmers, agronomists, researchers, educators, dealers and manufacturers from all over the U.S. and other countries including Canada and Ireland, packed the Hyatt Regency in Coralville, Iowa for the 12^th annual National Strip-Tillage Conference July 31-Aug. 1.
