Clearing the way

When we visited this grower in Rugby, North Dakota, the weather was great—a nice change from a wet spring! The moisture level was good (it had been a tad bit wet). Overall, it was fantastic weather for planting. But I did notice . . . it’s pretty windy in North Dakota!

We watched the grower seed wheat into soybean stubble with the Yetter 2966 Floating Residue Managers on a John Deere air seeder. The setup was a great option to move the residue out of the way, clearing a path for his disc opener.

He ran the 2966 on 5,000 acres. The producer does grow some other small grains, but sticks to mostly durum and soybeans.

Another grower in the same area used this Yetter 2966 and air-seeder setup to move corn stalk, soybean, and wheat stubble from the seed row when planting soybeans and other small grains. We appreciated our customer’s willingness to go out of his way and spend some time talking to us!

Both customers were very happy how the residue managers worked and were very impressed with the stands they got from using the residue managers . . . the region saw some of the best stands they have seen in many years, maybe ever.
