Growing up in Northeast Ohio, Clay Scott learned early on how planter adjustments — or the lack thereof — can make or break a growing season. During this interactive classroom session, the former technician and current product support specialist for Precision Planting covers the nuts and bolts of optimizing your no-till planter before it heads to the field.

You’ll Learn: The critical connection between planter maintenance & emergence timing, the most overlooked area on the row unit that has the biggest impact on yield & tools to determine what planter adjustments need to be made before going to the field.
