2017 Orthman Stubble Treader

Wheat-fallow rotation methods of dryland farming remain the dominant cropping systems in many arid and semi-arid regions. Conventional tillage practices leave the soil vulnerable to erosion by removing residue and destroying soil structure. Utilizing non-inversion implements such as the Orthman Fallow Master and Blade Plow for primary spring tillage helps retain higher levels of surface residue and soil structure during the fallow period.

More importantly, Orthmans fallow tillage tools create the ideal conditions to maximize soil moisture retention. Residue maintenance on the soil surface helps trap snow, absorb raindrop impact, slow runoff and minimize evaporation, and also helps control weeds at critical times in the production cycle.
