Brian Hefty to Speak at 2026 National Strip-Tillage Conference
The National Strip-Tillage Conference is excited to announce the addition of Brian Hefty to the 2026 speaker lineup! Hefty will share his expertise and practical insights on the general session stage during the 13th annual conference.
Hefty, who’s been strip-tilling for over 20 years on his 4,000-acre farm near Baltic, S.D., will explore how to fine-tune your nutrient management and crop protection plans with a comprehensive breakdown of soil tests, fertilizer rates/placement, herbicides and spray timing/application.
“The goal is to have you walk away never thinking of fertility and weed control the same again,” says Hefty, the longtime co-host of Ag PhD Radio and TV, the industry’s leading agronomy shows.
