Elkton, Ky. — Martin-Till, a leader in no-till planting technology, announced its acquisition by Yetter Manufacturing. The combination brings together two companies focused on practical innovation that helps farmers improve planting performance and profitability.

Founded by Howard Martin, Martin-Till pioneered row cleaners and closing systems that have become standard in modern no-till agriculture.

Steve Martin led Martin-Till through hands-on innovation — installing and operating machining centers and laser systems that would allow rapid manufacturing and testing of new products designed to handle challenging Kentucky soils. Constantly designing, Steve often went from tractor seat to the factory and back the next day with a newly designed part to solve a particular issue. This effort will continue under the new organization.

“This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver practical solutions to farmers,” said Steve Martin.

Timothy Meyer, CEO of Equity Advisors, Inc., advised Martin-Till on the transaction.

Customers can expect continued support, expanded capabilities, and ongoing innovation from the combined organization.
