Morris Industries shows off new quantum air drill

Morris Industries launched its new quantum air drill at Canada's Farm Progress Show.
 
It's their next generation of contour drill.
 
President and CEO Ben Voss says a new trulaser welding technique means welds are 154 per cent stronger.
 
"Means you can run it faster, you can run it deeper, you can also do more things with it that our current drill would not stand up to those requirements, most of our competitors wouldn't either," he said. "This allows farmers to try brand new things that they would have never tried like different row spacing options, different seeding speeds different seeding depths and that's really what they're after is that they want to know it's consistent, reliable it'll work and it won't break down on them."

What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring

Video: 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.
