The 2023 National Farm Machinery Show was packed with the latest cutting edge technology and product innovations for no-tillers and other conservation-minded farmers.
Elk City, Okla., no-tillers Spencer Smith and his father, Jimmy Smith, talk about the Dalton Ag Mobility 600 fertilizer applicator they use to broadcast cereal rye into standing cotton, which is planted in 40-inch rows. The machine is PTO-driven and the Smiths can travel 6-7 mph to cover a lot of ground efficiently. The family has been seeding cereal rye on their farm for decades and say rye seeding between the rows has helped suppress weeds and markedly improve water infiltration and soil retention.
Circleville, Ohio, no-tiller Ryan Wilson explains the cover-crop seeding tool his family created with a Flexi-Coil air cart, Kuhn Krause Excelerator vertical tillage tool and some well-placed brackets and hoses. The family is in their 6th year of seeding cereal rye on their farm.
Gary Fennig of Fennig Equipment talks about their cover crop seeding system, which incorporates a Valmar Cover Crop Seeder with Salford vertical tillage tools as an efficient cover crop seeding system.
