On this episode of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Martin-Till, southern Indiana no-tiller Ray McCormick shows off the unique features of his Horsch Maestro 2430 planter. Meanwhile, 40 miles east of McCormick, Strip-Till Innovator Award recipient Chris Perkins shows how chains on his planter deliver ROI in more ways than one.
Later, in the Cover Crop Connection segment, Georgetown, Del., no-tiller Jay Baxter takes us inside his accidental cover crop experiment.
In the Ahead of the Curve segment, Adam Gittins, Harlan, Iowa farmer and president of drone dealer HTS Ag, explains why an FAA violation in Florida serves as a harsh reminder to check all your boxes before operating drones.
Plus, Rock Creek, Minn., no-tiller and strip-tiller Jon Stevens runs through the in-season adjustments he made to get his struggling crops back on track, and David Hula checks in from Charles City, Va., with a preview of his 2024 National Strip-Tillage Conference presentation.

Our customers believe that Martin-Till®️ products provide an excellent return on their investment. We know this because a large percentage of them are repeat customers since the beginning in 1991. Our planter attachments help make it possible to plant into higher levels of residue and moisture. Higher levels of mulch means less erosion, improved soil tilth and fertility, which can reduce production costs.
Martin-Till’s goal is to increase yields and save you time and money. We hope you find something from our product offerings of row cleaner, UMO’s, closing wheels systems and recently added concaves that will make this year’s planting & harvesting go better for you. After all, you deserve the best!
