Strip Till is a conservation management practice that holds tremendous promise for today’s farmer. It combines the benefits of no-till and conventional chisel plow systems. Strip Till improves your bottom line by improving profits, increasing water infiltration and soil warm up, improving soil health, and reducing soil erosion.

Currently, there are 14 manufacturers committed to demonstrating or displaying their equipment at the Expo. A hallmark of the day will be the live field demonstrations throughout the morning and afternoon.

The expo will also feature presentations summarizing the latest research on managing cool soils & high residue, weed management, economics, and fertility placement for strip tillage systems. A special Farmer Panel during the noon hour will give attendees the opportunity to benefit from other’s experience - See what these individuals have done with strip till systems and hear them explain why they made the change.

Activities will begin at 9 am and conclude at 4 pm. Field demonstrations and research updates will be presented in both the morning and afternoon. Lunch will be available for sale on site, along with refreshments & ice cream from local 4-H groups

The Expo is jointly organized by University of Minnesota Extension, North Dakota State University Extension Service and numerous industry sponsors.
