The first-ever Strip-Till Innovator Awards was launched in 2019 to recognize individual growers in the U.S. and Canada who have made a significant contribution to the advancement of strip-till farming, regardless of the crop grown or brand of equipment, seed or crop protection products used. The winner of this inaugural award was Northfield, Minn., strip-tiller David Legvold. For Legvold, being a strip-till teacher and advocate for the practice is built on the willingness  to make mistakes and  learn from them.

Watch our 3-part 2019 Strip-Till Farmer's Strip-Till Innovator video series to hear from Legvold on his unique approach to strip-tilling and why he believes it is an important farming method.
