Based on the USDA’s farm income and profitability projections for the year, Cornbelt farmers are going to need some help saving money so they can make ends meet.

More corn growers are interested in using variable rate seeding (VRS) technology to optimize return on their annual seed investment. A recent survey showed that among Corn Belt farmers with over 1000 acres, more than one-third have VRS capability on their planters and 20% actually use this capability.
