Strip-Till Farmer is teaming up with Land Luvr/Rohrs Mfg. to select and recognize the 2025 Strip-Till Innovator Award recipient.

"We look forward to celebrating the recipient throughout the year and celebrating their achievements in-person at the 2025 National Strip-Tillage Conference in Iowa City."
