Welcome to a special road edition of Conservation Ag Update here from the Kinze Innovation Day, where inside the building behind me, over 100 farmers are here to check out some of the latest offerings from Kinze and farm technology geared towards farmers that include no-tillers and strip-tillers.

We were surprised when we walked in for a big reveal. Check this out. The Yetter Kinze Falcon SF700 on display for the first time here. This a partnership that’s a few months in the making. We got the inside scoop from Andy Thompson.  

“We're excited about this collaboration between Kinze and Yetter. Introducing this new machine, not only to our familiar strip till market, but also to maybe people that showed up here not expecting to be looking at strip till equipment. As we always talk about, strip till is everywhere. It's growing and now we're bringing it to markets outside of the traditional strip till market.”

“This partnership really came together very well. We have a Kinze planter toolbar — their 5,700 frame. It's already designed to run it at a 24-inch toolbar height, perfect for the Yetter strip-till units. It has hydraulic wing downforce. It has the capacity to be able to put the liquid fertilizer on that. Just so many things make a lot of sense. It's also available in not only 30-inch rows, but also 20-inch and 22-inch rows. So just makes a lot of sense. It fills some voids out there for anybody that's wanting to strip till in 20- or 22-inch rows aside from the 30-inch rows. And of course the Yetter row units, we've had a ton of success with those. The Strip Freshener CC units that we see on the unit behind me here. Those have been in operation for 8ight years. So, we took two existing units and put them together. And not only that, but also two great family-owned companies in Kinze and Yetter.”
