WYNDMERE, N.D. – During the Big Iron Farm and Construction Show in West Fargo, Carson Klosterman fielded questions from potential customers/strip-till farmers about farm equipment needs for strip-tilling cornfields in his Striptill For You booth. The guys in the shop back at the farm had assembled strip-till machines to display at the show on Sept. 9-11.
