I have heard of a few pockets across the midwest that have planted some crops but overall another moist week. Today we are getting a little rain and most of the week has been cloudy. The early soybean ship has sailed, but the good news is, once it dries, the temperatures will be good! We got a strip till bar up and running in Bucyrus, OH this week, and he was able to cover a few hundred acres before it got too wet. Salford tillage demos have been in full swing, and we have been moving tools all week. This break in the weather has created a nice break for guys to test their planters and get everything dialed in before the big rush comes around. We have gotten a great jump start on side dress applicators and have most of the J&M applicators built and delivered. Next week is sure to be a busy one with the weather, and we are very well prepared for it! Have a great weekend, and get those planters facing the field and ready for go time!

This spring strip-till rig is up and running in Bucyrus, OH. Salford ST-10 with 16 Yetter Cab Control row units creating strips and placing fertilizer in this heavy corn residue ahead of twin row beans.
This 40' Salford 550 Field Cultivator was up and running last weekend in Pandora, OH. The 2 piece S Tine cultivator is an elite cultivator especially when equipped with a double rolling basket.
Spring Strip-Till
This spring there will be hundreds of strip-till units and carts making strips that were not doing so just a few years ago. Several things, including the obvious fertilizer price, has driven demand in the spring strip-till world. There is nothing better than creating an are for the seed to thrive while keeping residue and soil in place nearby. Adding fertility to the mix simply makes sense when we talk about how the corn plant takes in nutrients. The closer the better. Below are a few videos we have put together on the spring strip unit from Yetter Mfg. At the speed you can go with these units, you can strip-till much faster than you could do a tillage pass without opening up the field to weed pressure, loss of moisture, and erosion. If you would like to demo one of these units this spring, get a hold of us. We can get a bar onto your farm.

About 6 months ago, we became a dealer for Hardi pull type sprayers. This week we had Hardi dealer training, and we sat down with the CEO, Mike Flatt. I was personally blown away with the quality, integrity, and knowledge that is held at Hardi. A great team with support beyond measure. Listen in as we talk industry trends, and moves Hardi has had to make to be where they are today. Mike is extremely real for a CEO. The title can be an issue for some, but Mike knows the industry, the customer, and has the fight to push Hardi to new heights.
