All about the speed disc - a popular organic tillage tool
The speed disc is a newer tillage tool that has gained popularity recently. Farmers like the high speed that it can be operated at to cover acres quickly, and how well it handles crop residue. But speed discs are also a newer implement that need to be understood to be used correctly. Join farmer Jon Findlay and Lemken Co. product specialist Richard Johnson to learn more about this popular tool, how to adjust and operate it to fit field conditions, and residue management in general.

Sam Oschwald Tilton, Facilitator
“I have worked with organic farmers all over the US and Canada to understand production systems and solve weed management issues. This past season, on farms and in winter conferences, I spoke with as many farmers and ag professionals as I could to understand the questions that organic producers have, and the experts that they’d like to learn from. Those conversations helped me identify the topics and guests for this series. I am excited to bring together a wide range of farmers and ag professionals from many backgrounds, all of whom have an experienced perspective to share. In each call I look forward to having an intelligent conversation with the guest that introduces the topic to those who are unfamiliar and also dives deep to bring further understanding and clear tips to listeners. After the conversation we’ll take questions from listeners, so that they can communicate directly with each guest to get the answers that they need. My goal for this call series is to provide crucial information on topics facing organic and transition-curious farmers, in an approachable conversation that listeners can easily listen to during their lunch hour.”
