Who’s Using Implement Guidance?
In this free eGuide – Making the Precision Basics Even Better with Implement Guidance – you will hear from growers on why implement guidance is becoming more prevalent in the fields and the successes they’ve seen.
- “When we first started strip-tilling, we were stripping with a 12-row machine and planting with a 36 row planter,” Knuth says. “With implement guidance on both the strip-tiller and planter, the different widths didn’t really matter, because the planter would match up to the strip tiller.” -- Kerry Knuth, Mead, Neb.
- “For a $15,000 investment, we can do what we want with smaller equipment, and it helps us utilize labor and do what we have to do more efficiently. You can mismatch equipment, but it’s not going to work for everybody. For us, it works really well.” – Ben Fehl, Laporte City, Iowa
- “We use high speed planters, so we’re planting faster than 5 miles per hour. With our topography, it’s tough to stay on the strip without some kind of correction. When we start to plant corn, that’s where I want it to be. It was a for sure that the lines were good to go forever. Of course, it’s always changeable, but for all practical purposes, we won’t be changing those guidance lines — ever.” – Brandon Hunt, Herndon, Ky.

Less Crop Damage, More Yield
Download this free eGuide today and see why many are expecting more growers to expand their implement guidance technology thanks to increased efficiencies on labor, faster ground speeds and less crop damage.
In return for less crop damage, producers will see increased yields, and that means more profitability. Farmers growing shorter season crops, have smaller windows to plant and spray. That means they have to be even more efficient and get as much done possible during those tight windows — and that’s where implement guidance can be a huge help.
