Driven by a passion to help manage residue, Gregg put together a strong engineering team to develop this new retrofit stalk roll system designed to improve the following year’s plant stands, and help improve the availability of nutrients locked within the residue. As a result, 360 CHAINROLL was created, and was tested on fields throughout…
