Little Diker by Desert Sunset Ag

Little Diker by Desert Sunset Ag The Little Diker is a conservation tool designed to increase efficiency by helping farmers do two jobs in one pass.

The little Diker when attached to a JD Max, Monosem, or Milton planter provides effective protection for emerging plants and substantially reduces water erosion. The unique mechanical design allows the little Diker to attach and run independently without the use of hydraulics, springs or shields insuring a consistent, reliable planting job. In a 2016 side by side trial, the south half of a field i

n SE Idaho was planted with a JD Max the little Dikers attached. The field was treated identically except for the use little Dikers use on the south half. There was over 4 tons/acre increase at harvest, resulting in an additional $160 per acre to the bottom line. Built in Boise, Idaho by American Craftsman, the little Diker will not only prevent wind & water erosion, but will also provide a substantial return on your investment for years to come! Based in American Falls, Idaho, Desert Sunset Ag originated from a grower’s need to control water and wind erosion in sugar beets, corn, onions and beans.

“Sugarbeet growers across Idaho, Oregon, and Washington are experiencing some of the toughest market conditions in recent history due to a flood of unfairly subsidized [over-quota] foreign sugar entering the U.S. market." — Samantha Parrott, Executive Director of the Snake River Sugarbeet Growers Association

We deeply appreciate the members of the Idaho, Oregon, and Washington delegations who signed the recent bipartisan, bicameral letter to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, including Senator Mike Crapo, Senator Jim Risch, Congressman Cliff Bentz, Congresswoman Janelle Bynum, Rep. Russ Fulcher, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Congresswoman Val Hoyle, Rep. Dan Newhouse, and Congressman Mike Simpson.

Little Diker going to work planting sugar beets in Minidoka county 2026.
Check out these awesome 4 + inch deep ridges protecting these emerging beets from wind damage, blowing dirt and sand by protecting both sides of the row. Diverting wind and debris. Don’t forget the awesome pockets to control and store water keeping you money and investment right where you need it.
This is a custom 12 row precision planter we helped this grower mount his Little Dikers too.

This 24 row Precision planter was in need of some center breaks to help with wind and water control.
With folding wings, row cleaners and offset units it had some fitment challenges. We worked with the grower to custom fabricate individually offset mounts to best adapt to each row. Each row has adjustments up, down, forward, and back. All while keeping row units easily accessible and utilizing planter units for shielding.
