Kinze and Yetter unveiled the new Falcon SF700 strip-till system at the Kinze Innovation Day in Williamsburg Iowa, Tuesday, June 23. Andy Thompson, strip-till product director for Yetter, and Todd Kniffen, senior VP of engineering, introduced the new unit to over 150 farmers in attendance.

“We’ve been doing high-yield plots for about 6 years now,” Mark Schleisman says. “Every year, we try something new and learn what we can do across all our acres. Some things work and some don’t.”

In the past, the idea of transitioning to strip-till with baby steps was almost unheard of, Andy Thompson says, and the unwritten strip-till code was to buy a rather complicated and expensive tool that was meant to replace all other tools previously used to perform everything needed for the crop. That’s no longer the case in 2026.
