No-Tiller Highlights Planter & Sprayer Tech at ATSG Clinic

2025 Most Valuable Dealer Ag Technology Solutions Group hosted a clinic at CEO Skip Klinefelter’s farm in Nokomis, Ill. Precision Planting region manager Josh Stoller delivered a presentation about new planter and sprayer technologies that are giving him a winning-edge in his no-till and strip-till operation.

“For us on our own farm — no-still and strip-till — one of the big things is our closing system. A couple years ago, we put on FurrowForce. We had some tougher-to-close situations on the planter in harder, wetter ground, especially in 2024. We put FurrowForce on, a 2-stage closing system that closes with first stage, and the second stage manages soil density. We lighten that up, try to tip-toe over the top of the wet ground and make sure everything got fully closed. This year, we’re going to start looking more into the technology on the sprayer. We’re going to make some changes on the Symphony nozzle — the PWM control on the sprayer.  Make sure we knock out all the weeds and we don’t have escapes. Looking at some of the camera technology. Symphony Vision Rate we’re going to be adding this year as well. If we don’t have many weeds, we’re going to cut back on the rate, if we do have taller or small weeds, we’re going to increase the rate and use the full range of the label and try to get more efficient as we go through.”
