What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This SpringVideo: What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring
This is the first episode of a new behind-the-scenes series on our farm.
Today I’m checking behind the planter looking at planting depth, seed-to-soil contact, and making sure we’re placing seed into moisture, even in a dry spring.
Everything can look good from the cab, but this is where you find out what’s really happening.
We also ran into a prescription issue that slowed us down, which is a good reminder that even when conditions are ideal, the little things still matter.
If you’re planting right now, it’s worth taking a few minutes to check behind your planter.
