Equipment

We Feature:

The photo above shows a GPS equipped truck spreading lime to a field. As the truck moves through each field the amount of ground limestone applied is only what is needed to raise the soil ph in each area. To raise the ph is to lower the "acidity" of the soil, an old term is "to sweeten" the soil. Continuous contact with multiple satellites gives exact positioning to within approximately two meters.

We are extremely proud of our farm machinery and use the latest technology available. We operate mostly John Deere equipment purchased from Martin & Kroencke Implement.

The flat fields here in the Mississippi River Valley allow us to use very wide equipment. We plant 24 rows at a time. Each row is 30 inches apart. This means that we can plant a 60 foot wide strip with each pass through the field. We use very low air pressure (as little as 6.0 p.s.i.) in our tires(duals and triples) to minimize soil compaction. We don't have any tracked farm machinery...at least not yet!!!
