2021 Orthman Research Yield Book

The Orthman Research Farm is focused on strip-till as a base system. The strip-till system allows us to prepare an ideal seedbed, precisely place nutrients, and condition the root zone while eliminating compaction. This system will help optimize yields, and provide an environmentally friendly and sustainable system of production agriculture. At the Orthman Research Farm we push beyond this system to help growers find agronomic solutions to improve their bottom line.
