About This Event

See it in the field. Compare it side-by-side. Decide with confidence.

Minnesota farmers are facing tight margins, rising input costs, and more unpredictable weather. If you’re

looking for ways to reduce passes, cut costs, and improve soil performance, this event is for you.

What to expect:

Watch 12 strip-till rigs run side-by-side in real field conditions!
See how different tillage implements affect soil conditions, water infiltration, and wind erosion risk.
Discover nutrient management strategies for reduced-tillage systems.
Learn planter adjustments for achieving good seed-to-soil contact in high-residue fields.
Hear from local farmers who have successfully improved profitability, cropping resilience, and soil protection through changes in their tillage systems.

Whether you’re already strip-tilling or just starting to explore it, this is an opportunity to see how different systems perform and ask the questions that matter for your operation.

All are welcome! Due to the generous support of our sponsors, this event is free to attend. To secure lunch please fill out the registration form following the link to the right >>>

Agenda

Protect Your Most Valuble Resource - Your Soil

Minnesota’s high-yield soils were built over centuries, enriched by tallgrass prairies before modern agriculture. Today, flat terrain, intensive tillage, and low surface residue, leave these valuable topsoils vulnerable to severe wind erosion. Long-term land stewardship requires proven strategies.

Strip-till is a conservation practice that holds tremendous promise for today’s farmer. A 7-10 inch strip is tilled while the area between rows is left untouched. It combines the benefits of no-till and conventional tillage systems.

Strip-till can improve your bottom line by improving profits, increasing water infiltration and soil warm up, improving soil health, and reducing soil erosion while protecting crop yield
