Although farm equipment manufacturers have engineers specifically charged to design and build no-till planters that efficiently place seed in the ground at the optimum depth, in a variety of field conditions, it’s difficult to find a no-tiller running a truly “bone stock” OEM planter.

Déjà vu. No-tillers probably felt it this fall as they battled rain and then raced to beat the snow getting crops harvested, just like 2008.
