Rogue VT on Cereal Rye – John Viertel

Got into the field again on June 4 to plant beans. This field had been in corn last year, with a cereal rye cover planted right after harvest. Since we were getting a lot of rain the second half of May, there was a delay of three weeks to get the cover crop rolled and...

Rogue VT in Central MO – John Viertel

On May 16, we got the Rogue VT® down to central Missouri, serviced and hooked up ready to go to the field. Before heading to the field to go to corn on Friday, we decided to go out in our pasture and see how it would do. Talk about VERSATILITY of a true vertical...

Missouri Rogue Update

Finally got into the field with the 15’ Rogue VT® on last week before it rained. My coworker Derek Porter was coming back from a Kansas delivery, and was able to stop to help me evaluate the job it was doing (which I thought was fantastic) and help make some...

Missouri Update

Here is what has been going on in the state of Missouri the last few weeks. Lots of deliveries of all our liquid products, and finally the first delivery of a 15’ Rogue VT® to Shelby County on April 12. So far because of weather conditions, we have not had a lot of...

Missouri Planting – John Viertel

Planting finally started! Last Saturday, I got to the field where this set of Yetter Poly Spiked Closing Wheels were being used to compare to the regular rubber closing wheels. The conditions were very good for planting in this conventional tilled field, so there was...

Start Thinking About Your Planter Setup Today

  Kinze Planter setup last spring to apply Crop Choice starter fertilizer. Happy New Year! As it is snowing here this morning, I thought I’d put together some pictures of a planter that is ready to go to the field to plant corn. As you can see, we have installed...

Valmar Seeder and AerWay for your Covercrop

This fall we incorporated our cereal rye covercrop with the Aerway/Remlinger Harrow after broadcasting with fertlizer. Got a good stand! Now, there is another option, the Valmar Air Seeder mounted on the Aerway.  A great way to do two operations in one.   We are...

5000 Stalk Devastator from Yetter

If you missed the SOIL SERVICE, INC field days last week, you really missed out on a lot of great information. Of course the corn and beans looked awesome in the plots, and there will be lots of data to go through after harvest this fall. However, the information...
