Through a partnership with local farmers, Ryan Schmid and researchers at the nonprofit Ecdysis Foundation developed a do-it-yourself guide for repurposing a used disc or any other equipment that fits a farmer’s particular needs into a low-cost roller-crimper. In this session, Schmid will walk you through the process of creating your own DIY roller crimper — at just 20% of the cost of a new brand-name crimper. The crimper design and plans were produced with farmers in mind, so anyone can build one in their farm shop
