Larry Paltzer no-tills in the Corn Belt. He’s plagued with wet soils that stay wet, even with no-till. After going to several roundtables, classrooms and general sessions at the National No-Tillage Conference, he was trying to decide if his operation could afford a Phillips Rotary Harrow.

Good thing he wasn’t too hasty about his decision. During the Friday evening banquet, this Omra, Wis., no-tiller was called to win the use of a Phillips Rotary Harrow for 1 year. Donated by Precision Metal Fabricating for the first time in Des Moines, Iowa, it was presented by company president Loren Katzenberger.

Designed to help conserve moisture, the Phillips Rotary Harrow aerates wet fields for earlier planting, exposes weeds for better kill, helps retain trash, levels surfaces and a multitude of other benefits.

Plus, More Prizes.

Throughout the conference, a number of other valuable prizes were presented by several companies and No-Till Farmer. Here’s a quick look at the winners.

Computrol Planter Monitor/Controller.

David Wipf of LaMoure, N.D., walked away with a Big John Computrol Planter Monitor/Controller unit for use on a no-till planter for 1 year. He also won a free professional seed meter calibration for his no-till planter.

The no-till monitor and controller will allow Wipf to keep an accurate watch on seed spacing and population for each row. It also offers an automatic herbicide control and is GPS compatible.
