Conservation Ag Update

Conservation Ag Update is the one-stop-shop for all things no-till, strip-till, cover crops and more! This broadcast style newscast covers the latest conservation ag stories affecting your operation, as well as product innovations and strategies from veteran no-tillers and strip-tillers. Have a story idea or photo/video you'd like us to feature? Email Noah Newman at nnewman@lessitermedia.com.


Conservation Ag Update is brought to you by Martin-Till.

Our customers believe that Martin-Till®️ products provide an excellent return on their investment. We know this because a large percentage of them are repeat customers since the beginning in 1991. Our planter attachments help make it possible to plant into higher levels of residue and moisture. Higher levels of mulch means less erosion, improved soil tilth and fertility, which can reduce production costs. Martin-Till’s goal is to increase yields and save you time and money. We hope you find something from our product offerings of row cleaner, UMO’s, closing wheels systems and recently added concaves that will make this year’s planting & harvesting go better for you. After all, you deserve the best!
