When it comes to no-till equipment, Case IH Early Riser® planters are a clear winner. Just ask the readers of No-Till Farmer who, for the second consecutive year, voted Early Riser planters the No-Till Product of the Year in the equipment category. No-tillers voted for the Case IH Early Riser planter system because it makes the most use of the planting window. According to No-Till Farmer, "Case IH Early Riser planters have the industry's largest bulk-fill seed hopper for fewer fills and a vacuum seed metering system that accurately distributes seed - even at faster than normal planting speeds." No-Till Farmer noted that the Early Riser row units and the seed metering system provide uniform and consistent seed spacing, superior depth control and excellent seed-to-soil contact for earlier, more even emergence and higher yield potential. "Early Riser planters give growers the best of both worlds," says Alan Forbes, Case IH Planter Marketing Manager. "They have the best row unit to get the crop out of the ground early and even. This is combined with the best metering system for reliable seed placement, spacing and exceptional depth control. The result is higher yield potential."
No-Till Farmer readers were asked to nominate products that made the greatest impact on their no-till program in 2008 in 11 product categories. Readers were then asked to select up to one product in each category as the best of that group. Winning products were announced during the 17th annual National No-Tillage Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. "No-tillers really are a group that take considerable pride in learning about and knowing the products that give them a competitive edge in their management system," says Darrell Bruggink, Managing Editor and Publisher of No-Till Farmer and the Conservation Tillage Product Guide in a news release announcing the award winners. "These companies really ought to consider these awards high praise considering they are coming from an innovative segment of the farming community."

Productivity enhancing products include tractors; combines and harvesters; hay and forage equipment; tillage tools; planting and seeding systems; sprayers and applicators; and site-specific farming tools.
