No-till farming is an excellent way to increase the health and productivity of soils by increasing soil organics and water infiltration, decreasing cropland compaction, and greatly reducing or eliminating soil erosion. In addition, no-till farming is one of the most economical methods of planting pastureland and hayland, saving you both time and money.
Our drills are perfect for planting all seed varieties. We own two drills with 12 feet planting width – eliminating the need to plow and disk before planting. Cost is $10/acre (5 acre minimum) and $30 set-up and calibration assistance. A minimum of 55 hp is required to pull the drill by tractor.
If you have any questions about no-till farming or our no-till drill rental program, please call 276-601-2105.
