I visited Les Seiler’s farm in northwest Ohio not too long ago, and the first thing that caught my eye was the personalized license plate on his car, with the letters “NO TIL.” Seiler’s passionate about the practice. 40 years into his no-till journey, he’s still making adjustments all the time, as he shows us here with his sidedress rig in the Video of the Week. 

“Slight angle, lay the 28 beside it and it’s pretty easy. It just doesn’t cause problems. We put a little closing assembly here to send the dirt back on. When you look down that row there, there’s a lot of stuff. When we were pulling knives and nozzles and stuff, everything was a mess. We’ve come a long ways with this equipment by working and trying different things. It didn’t all happen at once. It’s all work in progress. You can’t do it all at once, but you find something you like and try to expand on it.”
