SILVER ANNIVERSARY LECTURE: Why No-Till Planter Settings Will Make or Break Your Crop

Gregg Sauder, founder of 360 Yield Center, returns to the same St. Louis stage he took 25 years ago. Then, only into his 6th year with his fledgling Precision Planting company, Sauder gave not one — but 3 — presentations at the conference. In this first-ever Silver Anniversary Lecture, Sauder, who founded 360 Yield Center in 2014 after selling Precision Planting 2 years earlier for $250 million, reviews the transition from the early days of planter machine-learning and technology that vastly improved seed spacing, depth and downforce. His fascinating presentation concludes with leading autonomy and irrigation technologies proven on his own 7,000-acre farming operation and how they can be applied to significantly impact plant health and yield. Learn why taking the wrong approach to closing the seed trench is costing no-tillers ear counts and bushels.
