We were able to sit down with Louie Nigg, a fifth-generation farmer from Peever, South Dakota. He took time out of his day to share his story on Nigg Farms and his experience with Salford tools. "Corn and beans are our bread and butter that we raise," Louie says. "And a little wheat and alfalfa in the past. But corn and soybeans are mainly what we focus on."
When it comes to using Salford tools year over year, Louie says, "The durability is just great... for the amount of speed and acres you cover and what they get put through, they're bulletproof." Louie's seasonal maintenance for his Salford tool is simple, taking about 40 minutes for every thousand acres to grease the blade hubs.
With the extremely dry conditions in his area this past Fall, Louie shared with us that his Salford tool has helped him level out the ruts in his fields, making it a "perfect" seedbed. He adds, "“For our area, they’re more of a one-pass tool if you do it in the fall. If the spring is correct with the correct moisture and you're not too wet, we can plant right into that and don't have to worry about making another pass”.
