I think it was very impressive but what do I know I’m not a farmer, but I’m learning every time I watch one of your videos keep up the great work

Thanks for hosting the field day Jon. I kept my shoes on to prevent my socks from blowing off but there was some very good presentations that day. And that strip till rig was quite a machine in person.

You need a nice 4 or 6 row!

Very nice John. Keep up the good work. Might get to a 1trpr in the future. Would like to hear what you know about placing P/K in the strip vs. broadcast. Rates, depths, anything. Thanks.

Orthman isn't up here. P&K in band is much more efficient than broadcast, University of Minnesota did band vs broadcast studies and got down to 40% of broadcast rate and still had a positive crop response. Unless you have an issue putting on P&K at crop removal rates is money wasted.

@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 Great feedback. If things go as planned might have some split trials in the first few years. Would be nice to get down to 50% after finally getting the soils OM up to close to yours.

@@TwoHappyChildrenFarm you're hoping to get your soil organic matter up to 0.5%-3% There is so much data out there saying what a fallacy retail P&K are. Stay tuned

What is the benefit of strip till over a VT tool ?

The strip till tool is a fantastic fertilizer applicator. If you have a soft soil a vertical till machine can make a nice seed bed. If you have more compacted soil then the shank of the strip till can help make a very nice seed bed without the need of turning the whole field over

Looks like a awesome machine. To bad it's unaffordable for a farm my size.

Talk to them they might be able to work with you

The crumbler basket can be individually unpinned to float on its own. They need to build the prototype 22" and make it an 8 row so it covers the tractor tire spacing... Bug the salesman for me tomorrow. I did at FarmFest. 😊

My name is Dan Guenther from Zimmerman, I can do a 6 row at 22" if interested in a demo/ 319 231 6599
