Feb 04, 2015

Today, John Deere secondary tillage equipment has cutting-edge technology that makes the average farmer more efficient than ever before.

Features such as John Deere FarmSight and John Deere Implement Detection have reduced the time it takes to jot down measurements, connect equipment and monitor machine performance. Let’s take a look at five pieces of secondary tillage equipment that have improved the way that agricultural professionals do business.

1. 2210 Field Cultivator

2210 Cultivator

The 2210 Field Cultivator from John Deere uses significant less horsepower per foot when compared to most secondary tools on the market. It also has wider implements — working widths range from 20 feet and 6 inches to 64 feet and 6 inches. Its operating speed ranges from 5 to 8 miles per hour. Additionally, its new High Productivity feature eliminates weeds in a short amount of time.

2. 2310 Mulch Finisher

The John Deere 2310 Mulch Finisher is designed to root out weeds, till and condition soil, and level soil surface. Its 2600 Series Disks offer working widths up to 45 feet 9 inches. The machine combines disking and field cultivation, and it is designed to handle a large amount of residue.

3. 2623 Disk

2623 Disks

The 2623 Disk from John Deere is a part of the 2600 Series Disks, which can be used for secondary tillage machinery. The 2623 Disk can be utilized for seedbed preparation in the spring, or it can be put into action during heavy residue conditions in the fall. It has working widths up to 49 feet 3 inches, as well as heavyweight blades to take on rough terrain once autumn arrives. As a bonus, it can level soil and reduce clod size along the way.

4. 2623VT

The 2623 from John Deere is a vertical tillage machine that helps producers size residue and mix soil efficiently. The machine has 7.25-inch blade spacing to work at high speeds while chopping and sizing residue. It also has operating speeds between 7 and 10 miles per hour.

Video: What Does 20 MILLION Hogs a Year Look Like?

?? The Multi-Plant System Processing 20 Million Hogs Annually in the Midwest JBS USA operates multiple large-scale pork processing facilities across the Midwest, including major plants in Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. Combined, these facilities have the capacity to process approximately 20 million hogs annually.

Each plant operates high-speed automated slaughter systems capable of processing up to 20,000 head per day, followed by fabrication lines that break carcasses into primals, sub-primals, and case-ready retail products.

Hog procurement is coordinated through electronic marketing platforms that connect regional contract finishing operations and independent producers to plant demand schedules. This digital procurement system allows for steady supply flow and scheduling efficiency across multiple facilities.

Processing plants incorporate comprehensive food safety systems, including pathogen intervention technologies, rapid chilling processes, and integrated cold-chain management. USDA inspection is embedded throughout the harvest and fabrication stages to ensure regulatory compliance and product integrity. Finished pork products — from bulk primals to retail-ready packaged cuts — are distributed through coordinated logistics networks serving domestic and export markets.
