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.
