We’ve got Dave, our Salford rep, in the shop this week and we’re breaking down what’s actually driving the surge in Salford tillage. From durability and low maintenance to real-world field performance, we talk through why more farmers are making the switch and what’s setting these tools apart right now.

Spring is here, but planting looks a little different depending on where you’re at. In this episode of the Talking Shed Podcast, we break down what we’re seeing across Ohio and beyond—from fields that are already planted to areas that haven’t even started yet.
We also rewind to our recent trip to Missouri, where we worked with Dive Bomb Industries on a fertilizer setup and got a behind-the-scenes look at their operation. Back at the shop, it’s full speed ahead with service calls, planter setups, applicator builds, and troubleshooting everything from pumps to rate controllers.
We also dive into the growing interest in low disturbance fertilizer banding vs strip-till, plus what’s coming through the shop next. If you’re in the middle of planting season or getting ready to roll, this one will hit close to home.

We talk upcoming shows, what’s happening in the shop, and how things are shaping up as we head into the busy season. From planter kits and applicators to deliveries and demos, it’s full speed ahead.
With equipment moving, installs rolling, and more jobs lining up daily, it’s that time of year where everything starts stacking up fast. We also dive into what goes into prepping for events, lining up demos, and making sure everything is ready before the real push of spring hits.
And somehow… it all wraps up with a first bull riding experience you won’t want to miss.

Spring is officially here and things are starting to pick up. In this episode of the Talking Shed Podcast, we talk about turning the page into March and how the urgency around equipment, deliveries, and spring prep is ramping up fast.
We also share what it was like getting a Salford tool in the field in early March and why the results were better than expected. On top of that, we recap the Commodity Classic in San Antonio, discuss the conversations happening around agriculture policy, ethanol, and crop markets, and talk about why that show is one of the best places to connect with people in the industry.
Back in the shop, we’ve also added something new to the lineup: a planter meter tester that will allow us to inspect and test meters for growers. It’s another step toward helping farmers get their planters dialed in before planting season arrives.
From field demos and farm shows to shop upgrades and spring weather, there’s a lot happening this time of year.

Spring is creeping closer and planter season is right around the corner. In this episode of the Talking Shed Podcast, we break down why planter fertilizer is absolutely booming right now and what growers are really asking for heading into March.
Is it back studies? Biologicals? Neighbor influence? Or just proven ROI?
We talk through:
• Why simple electric pump systems are winning
• Risk versus reward when adding technology to your planter
• Stainless tubes versus conceal systems
• How to build bulletproof fertilizer setups
• Shop updates and current planter installs
• The cultivator deal recap
• Commodity Classic travel plans
Planting season is already complex. The last thing you need is a fertilizer system that costs you acres. Our focus is simple: build systems that work, eliminate unnecessary headaches, and keep farmers running.
At the end of the day, we do not just sell equipment. We serve customers.
