When given the opportunity, most people show appreciation for someone who has helped them out. That’s exactly what no-tiller Herb Lofty of Richfield, Wis., did in January at the 2001 National No-Tillage Conference in Cincinnati.

David Wipf learned a lot about precision corn planting last year, thanks to the Computrol II Monitor that he won at the 2000 National No-Tillage Conference. Wipf, crops manager at the Fairview Colony near LaMoure, N.D., directs production on 2,500 acres of no-till corn and soybeans.
