Subject: RE: Precison planting does not increase yield.


Victoria Township, North Dakota
PP gear doesnt increase yield, PP products protect yield. If you farm in perfect conditions on square fields and you are raising NCGA contest winning yields with a 7000 finger planter with springs PP stuff won't help you. If you farm in the real world with the rest of us, in variable soils with fields shaped like an amoeba, PP gear can help you protect the genetic potential yield.

For me, Delta Force has gotten rid of ear drop and lodging as we plant our seed in snug closing.
vDrive vSet meters got rid of over planting through section control I have a high way coming through my farm on a 120° angle.

I am looking to add low stick smart firmer sensors to learn more about my soils. I have row cleaners, closing and in furrow and 2x2 fert down pat so i am sitting on the sidlines for now on the new stuff.
