Tools for improving depth control, singulation, seed environment and yield.

How we can help?

Spacing? Depth? Speed? Residue? Seedbed? Which problem is costing you the most during planting? Look here to uncover the cost of poor planter performance . . . and simple solutions to fix them.

Populations. Spacing. Placement.

Higher populations mean that the placement of every plant - every seed - is critical. Corn plants closer than 4" sense high population and react to the high stress environment. But with a little effort, today's planters can achieve spacing accuracy of 97% or more. Find out how.

Depth. Compaction. Residue.

Uniform emergence is the most important event in a cornfield's year. Plants that do not emerge within 48 hours after their neighbors turn into "weeds". Creating a good, clean seed V, getting seeds to the bottom of the trench and eliminating compaction can get plants off to a uniform start.

Measure. Monitor. Control.

Find and Fix planter problems before they cost you a dime. New monitoring and sensing systems can identify expensive issues you can't detect in the shop. And with new control systems, you can set and forget critical functions like downforce adjustments, VR populations and Row Control.

Education

Planter Technology Institute

Our Precision Planting conferences have become well known for providing attendees with practical solutions to everyday agronomy issues. We typically host conferences in January and July, and we hope you can join us. But if you would like an even more efficient way to learn about the newest planting techniques, you need to join us in our Planter Technology Institute (PTI).

The PTI is a mobile classroom that provides the perfect environment for us to demonstrate these techniques and tools. We have a four row planter inside . . . so you can watch variable rate populations, row clutches, the affects of speed, and compare meter performance. You will also be able to see how four different planter monitors see the same seed data. And you can watch how automatic down force controls and optimize yields by limiting seed trench compaction.

The PTI classroom crisscrosses the country. As you would expect, seating is very limited for these events. Ask your Precision Planting dealer for an invitation. Or, look on our Precision Locator to find a dealer or event near you.

Special PTI Events

Are you planning a special event geared towards farmers? Is the event focused on improving production practices? Would you like to have the Planter Technology Institute at your event. The PTI is on the road 9 months out of the year. It has been set up in a Cabela's parking lot, a major seed companies headquarters, even the Budweiser Dairyland Super National Truck and Tractor Pull in Tomah, WI. Contact us about scheduling the Planter Technolgy Institute at your next major event. Email info@precisionplanting.com with your event information to start the process.
