The 2023 Conservation Ag Operator Fellow gives a live walkthrough of two of his highly modified no-till planters and shares the reasons behind his setup decisions. “A proud moment of mine was when the appraiser told me he couldn’t appraise my line of equipment because, at that point, the only thing that wasn’t highly modified was the combine,” Steinlage says.
