Mark your calendars for April 8, 2026, and join us at KNM Sales & Service for our Spring Open House—a day built for learning, connecting, and getting ready for the growing season ahead.

This year’s event is centered around a valuable and timely topic: Soil Management & Soil Health, with a special presentation by Mark Van Veen of Salford Group.

What to Expect

Whether you're looking to upgrade equipment, gain new insights, or simply connect with others in the industry, our Open House has something for everyone:

• Coffee & doughnuts to start your morning
• Equipment walkarounds and product showcases
• One-on-one time with knowledgeable reps
• A complimentary lunch (smokies & hotdogs on a bun)
• A featured educational presentation focused on real-world soil management

Featured Presentation: Soil Management & Soil Health Discussion

Running from 1:00 PM – 1:45 PM, this presentation will go beyond basic tillage practices and explore a broader approach to soil management.

The session is broken into three key areas:

🌱 Modifying Soil Structure

Understanding what ideal soil looks like and when tillage can help achieve it. Learn about different tillage types—vertical, horizontal, shallow, and deep—as well as the difference between “cut” and “shear” tillage. The presentation will also touch on tools like penetrometers and other additions to your soil health toolkit.

🌾 Managing Residue

Explore how soil processes residue and how nutrient cycling works. Learn what determines when residue needs processing, how nutrients are released, and how tillage can influence timing—while still maintaining proper soil armour.

⏳ Extending the Growing Season

Discover how fall residue management can set you up for success in the spring. Learn what tools and practices can help you get into the field earlier, and when tillage can be beneficial—or detrimental—ahead of seeding.

Door Prizes

Be sure to stick around for your chance to win!

Door prizes will be drawn during the presentation, and you must be present to claim your prize.

🍽 Lunch is On Us

Join us from 11:30 PM – 12:45 PM for a complimentary lunch of smokies and hotdogs on a bun. It’s a great time to relax, connect, and talk shop before the presentation begins.
