SABINA, Ohio — Apple Farm will host Great Plains Tillage Day on Wednesday, Nov. 5. Visitors will be able to try four fall tillage machines on over 140 acres of bean and corn fodder on southwest-Ohio ground.

Demonstrations will be running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 7116 Greenfield-Sabina Road in Sabina. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. No need to register or RSVP.

“This is a great opportunity for our area growers to see the capabilities of Great Plains tillage at this free no-commitment event” said Kent Holmes, marketing manager of Apple Farm Service. “It’ll be a day of learning for all of us. We’ll be trying out different calibrations, digging up layers to check compaction, and running various experiments as visitors come to us with different questions and scenarios.”

Apple Farm Service, who has offered Great Plains at four locations, was excited to earn the Great Plains contract for their latest location, Washington Court House, this spring. 

Along with a majority of their sales staff, members of Apple Farm Service’s service department, parts department, and Great Plains regional specialists will be on the field to answer questions.

Those who attend can have the ability to try four different Great Plains fall tillage machines. These machines are the Terra-Max (hybrid tillage), VT Turbo-Max (vertical tillage), Sub-Soiler (deep tillage), and the Max Chisel (primary tillage).
