WC24 ‣ Your Future Planter Is in Your Machine Shed [Full Session]

New equipment is expensive. And in a typical year, only 5% of farms will purchase a brand-new, factory-built planter. So, what if you could get shiny paint and technology that maximizes your yield, time, and profitability, without buying a whole new planter?

What if that level of performance was available to everyone, no matter their farming situation? We believe everyone deserves a better planter, so we share ways to get the most out of your current planter.
Doug Wiegand walks through the most important agronomic practices to establish a successful crop and the mechanical planter parts that help you get there.
» Clean the residue [with Reveal]
» Create the seed trench [with SmartFirmer and DeltaForce]
» Close the furrow [with FurrowForce]
Then, Caleb Schleder dives into the timeline of upgrading the corn planter on his family’s farm, and how the new CornerStone Planting System from Precision Planting would have been a great fit for their retrofit journey.
Why CornerStone?
» Integrated Precision Planting - load cell and electronics already installed.
» Custom factory-built - Ships with components already installed, mechanical and electronic.
» Optimized - design, performance, adjustment, ease of in-field use, maintenance and wear.

It is not the density of the soil that should be controlled, but its porosity, keeping the waterproof soil aggregates intact! The "cornerstone" destroys them with the help of a furrow sealing device, the specific surface area of the aggregates increases and the available water becomes inaccessible. The experience spent in the basement is proof of this.

"Precision Planting" solves a ten-dollar problem with a hundred-dollar bill. But some innovations deserve attention.🤣
