FIRST ANNOUNCED SPEAKERS

Lower Input Costs & Overcome Climate Challenges with Fertility Experiments Jerry Ackermann will share how aggressive -- but calculated -- experimentation with fertilization practices and strip-till trials have helped decrease input costs and overcome climate challenges to raise corn yields that are commonly 20 bushels per acre above the county average.	Jerry Ackermann Strip-Tiller, Lakefield, Minn.
Tracking the ROI of a Strip-Till System Know what to do with all that field data you collect? Strip-tiller Trent Sanderson will share how number crunching and analysis of collected data, along with the use of precision farming practices like electric row clutches and rate control, can help assess your return on investment of your strip-till system and shape annual input expenditures.	Trent Sanderson Strip-Tiller, Clare, Ill.
Building a Sustainable Strip-Till System and Strengthening Soil Structure Curious how the addition of cover crops, refinements to your nutrient management practices and the introduction of a bioreactor can contribute to a comprehensive strip-tilling strategy? Tim Smith will discuss his construction of a complete strip-till system.	Tim Smith Strip-Till Farmer, Eagle Grove, Iowa
