Yetter Stalk Devastator Recognized As Innovative Product

Feb 15, 2013

The 5000 Stalk Devastator™, released by Yetter Farm Equipment in November of 2011, recently received recognition from two industry-leading news organizations. Farm Industry News chose the Devastator as one of the most innovative agricultural products of 2012, and No-Till Farmer recognized it a best-performing product in the residue management category.

“We were honored to have the quality of the Devastator recognized,” said Derek Allensworth, marketing manager for Yetter. “We believe it effectively reduces damage caused to tires and tracks, leading to less downtime and expensive equipment replacement.”

As one of 20 Farm Industry News 2013 FinOvation Award winners, the Devastator was chosen because it represented an innovative new product for row-crop farming. Each of the winners had been featured in the Farm Industry News magazine or website, and winners were decided upon based on reader interest in the product. Readers will also choose the product of the year from the 20 FinOvation winners—voting is open now at www.farmindustrynews.com and ends February 12.

The Devastator was also recognized as an honorable mention in the residue management category at No-Till Farmer’s 21st annual National No-Tillage Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, on January 11, 2013.

The Yetter 5000 Stalk Devastator is a solution to premature tire/track wear and damage caused by crop stubble. “Today’s hybrids are designed to resist disease, insects, and wind, but the tough stalks are destroying tires. This leads to downtime and expensive replacement,” said Jim Lascelles, service manager at Yetter Farm Equipment.

Video: Early Fall Colors | Scenic Ontario Road Trip!

All adventures must come to an end, but not without one more journey! Join The Wandering Shepherds as we say farewell to our cozy Calabogie cottage and take the scenic road trip home to Ewetopia Farms. Our first stop was a breathtaking hydroelectric generating station, framed by cliffs, rushing water, and brilliant fall leaves that seemed to have changed overnight. From there, we meandered along winding backroads through lakes and hills, soaking in the spectacular autumn scenery. This year, the colors seemed to arrive earlier than usual—perhaps due to the summer’s drought? Whatever the reason, it was an unforgettable display of Ontario’s fall beauty. Finally, our holiday drew to a close as we pulled back into Ewetopia Farms, ready to return to the sheep and our daily vlogs. But this trip reminded us how important it is to pause, explore, and appreciate the simple beauty around us.
