On Tuesday, August 20, my brother asked me to get in his pickup with him to go look at some of his soybeans. This is one of the fields where we rolled down the cereal rye with the Rogue VT®. It has been mentioned here in several blogs, and if you remember, it...

Rogue VT at work in Missouri – John Viertel
Jul 23, 2019
On July 18, 2019, we moved the 15-foot Rogue VT® to Lebanon for a rental. Had some weed pressure (Marestail that round up did not kill). This field was going to take two passes to get in shape to plant, but it was doing a great job! The customer is probably going to...
Missouri Update – John Viertel
Jun 17, 2019
Ten days after rolling this cereal rye field and planting directly into it, this is what it looks like. You can row the beans and virtually all the cereal rye is dead. The Rogue VT® did an excellent job terminating it! NO burn down herbicide was used. The plan...

Got into the field again on June 4 to plant beans. This field had been in corn last year, with a cereal rye cover planted right after harvest. Since we were getting a lot of rain the second half of May, there was a delay of three weeks to get the cover crop rolled and...

Finally got into the field with the 15’ Rogue VT® on last week before it rained. My coworker Derek Porter was coming back from a Kansas delivery, and was able to stop to help me evaluate the job it was doing (which I thought was fantastic) and help make some...

Here is what has been going on in the state of Missouri the last few weeks. Lots of deliveries of all our liquid products, and finally the first delivery of a 15’ Rogue VT® to Shelby County on April 12. So far because of weather conditions, we have not had a lot of...
April is Here!
Apr 1, 2019
Wow, it is already the first day of April! Two days ago (Saturday) it was raining and there were some snow flakes mixed in. March going out like a “lion.” I guess? First, our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the flooding going on in the Midwest....
New for 2019!!!
Jan 8, 2019
We have put a lot of thought and design to get true vertical tillage in the Rogue VT®, a machine that is not only versatile, but also simple to adjust and use. We were able to get a Rogue VT down to Missouri last fall for some limited field work and where we did run...
New Rogue VT in Missouri – John Viertel

Last week, the first SOIL Service, Inc. Rogue VT® vertical tillage tool came to Missouri. We were able to run it on the SOIL HEALTH STUDY field after the soybeans were harvested, right ahead of drilling wheat. We were very pleased with the job it did! There were some...
