Strip-Till Farmer Launches Equipment-Focused Email Discussion Group

In this free email discussion group, strip-tillers, dealers and others in the strip-till community can connect with each other to start conversations, seek advice and exchange ideas about strip-till rigs, setting up toolbars and all the other equipment strip-tillers may use on their operations. Ongoing discussion threads include sharing photos of strip-till machine setups and discussion about why strip-tillers prefer certain setups.

The email discussion group allows users to send and receive messages like regular emails. Anyone can choose to respond to the individual sender, the whole group, or just sit back and watch. Users can also choose to receive messages immediately as each is sent or as a daily digest recapping the day’s activity in just a single email.

“Farmers new to strip-till often look to other farmers and publications like ours for technical knowledge about toolbar setup because they don’t have that expertise close to home,” says Michaela Paukner, managing editor at Strip-Till Farmer. “We invite dealers to participate in our discussion group to increase their knowledge about strip-till for the benefit of their customers and their business.”

Meet Willy: California Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farm Dog of the Year!

We’re excited to introduce Willy, a miniature long-haired dachshund with a big heart and even bigger courage, and the Grand Prize winner of this year’s Farm Dog of the Year Contest!

Willy may be small, but he’s become an indispensable partner on owner Marshal Hagedorn’s forestry and cattle operations in Shasta, Tehama, and Siskiyou counties. Adopted in 2023, he quickly found his place on the ranch, helping manage critters, tagging along for long days in the woods, and offering unwavering companionship during demanding logging work.

Willy has even taken naturally to moving cattle, surprising calves (and more than a few full-grown cows!) with his burst of energy from the tall grass. As Marshal put it: “He goes with me everywhere every single day.”

Congratulations to Willy and his family, a perfect example of how every good farm dog, no matter the size, helps keep California agriculture running strong.
