In some areas, high-speed compact disks are increasing in popularity due to their high productivity capabilities. High-speed disks not only are highly productive but also can leave a nice-looking finish; but with this tool, there…
While most producers know seed singulation can impact growth, it is often overlooked during planting season. Unfortunately, this can mean loss of yield and overspending on seed — which no grower wants.
Case IH Magnum™ and Steiger™ Rowtrac™ series tractors give producers several agronomic advantages that help increase productivity. One example of Case IH Agronomic Design™ is the recent addition of a 21-inch-wide track. This track reduces the soil ground pressure and offers additional clearance in the root zone for flat row crops and bedded crops planted…
For more than two decades tracked tractors have been providing agronomic, traction and performance advantages for producers. They have played an integral part in production agriculture. During this time Case IH has earned a position of leadership and innovation by focusing on customer needs, as well as developing industry leading products like the Quadtrac® and…
Compaction can drastically affect your soil’s ability to absorb water and nutrients. If you’re looking to increase yield, start by improving your water infiltration.
During harvest season, getting your crops out of the ground is always the top priority—but what about the future of your fields? According to research from The University of Minnesota, the way you address rutting and compaction today will profoundly affect your yield for up to three years.1 Here are three tips for setting up…
Wet fields are likely hindering your harvest right now, so locating and breaking up hard pan during postharvest tillage will be important to help improve moisture management heading into next year and beyond.
