In February, Kinze introduced the 5700 24-row 20-inch planter equipped with the new 5000 Series row unit and several other productivity features. Brad Niensteadt, a planter product expert at Kinze Manufacturing, hosted a webinar where he explained how the 5700 handles the challenges of narrow-row, no-till planting. Here are the top 5 takeaways from the webinar:
No-Till Farmer's Conservation Ag Operator Fellow for 2022, Jim Leverich, discusses his operation's equipment and parts status ahead of spring planting.
Constricted by expensive Shenandoah Valley farmland, long-time no-tiller Anthony Beery relocated, and put his no-till know-how to work, tackling more marginal acres.
The Shenandoah Valley is to a farming community what Manhattan is to a suburban community. Densely populated, rent is astronomical and buying property requires significant bank roll.
FOR BRIAN MARTIN, it’s not hard to see that having a no-till system keeps soil in place on his farm’s sloping terrain. But Martin also has a thirst for looking beyond the anecdotes for data that spells out what practices benefit the bottom line.
The “05 Series” planters offer a number of enhancements that will increase the wear life of many components, simplify maintenance, improve performance and reduce the overall cost of planter ownership.
Growers in central Pennsylvania share how they tweaked their planting units to optimize corn stands while still getting cover crops into their rotations.
Soil conditions in Pennsylvania can vary as much as the terrain, from sandy or clay loam to rocks and knobs of shale — presenting a potential nightmare for no-tillers trying to achieve consistent stands and protect yield potential.
Alan Weber discusses his use of cereal rye and other cover crops on his farm near Nelson, Mo., where he runs a diversified crop and livestock operation. He’s found cereal rye is especially useful in reducing pigweed and waterhemp pressure and cover crops as a whole are saving him $35-$50 an acre on hay needed for grazing.
A minor victory in a small field grew to major success farmwide for Bob Kissel, as no-till practices have reduced erosion and improved soil tilth and nutrient cycling on his central Indiana operation.
Bob Kissel remembers the moment he decided to start no-tilling his crops: it was 30 years ago as he was custom harvesting a 20-acre field intensively farmed with soybeans and worked with plows every year.
