Real life high tech planting

Burgault paired row



Seed master 15 in single row

Interesting experiment we just pulled our 12”spaced openers and put on paired row for last six hundred acres of barley, doing the math if we’re right a 2 bushel increase would generate $10K more.

I really like the paired row in cereals , works well with higher seed rates to get more heads per ft Square , But they do open a bit more ground , surprisingly not more than the twin shank seed master .

So what's the fix?????

A discer, just drop the front wheel in the rut and go.

cheapest seeding outfit you'll ever own. Got 30 ft of them and still use them.

But, but what happens when the tractor isn’t communicating with the discer?

You wipe the dust off and plug the hydraulic hose back into the coupler. Then rearrange the slack so it doesn't pull out next time you turn too Sharp.
Unless it's I really high-tech discer, in which case you tie a better knot in the rope to the back of the seat for the power lift.
And if it is the ultimate in high-tech discers, then you need to establish a better sign language system between the tractor driver and the operator sitting on the discer. If it's too Dusty or too dark, you might need to use cell phones between the two operators. Of course, you could eliminate any communication errors by eliminating the tractor and putting the horses back in front then the only operator is sitting on the discer,
Apparently they didn't even require GPS.

We're happy with our Dutch paired row openers in cereals, it does blacken up the soil more than the inline single point. Hoping that the cereals will stool out more with the extra space. Changing from the paired to the inline takes about a 1.5 hours but think it's worth the extra time. We’re down to our last quarter of canola for tomorrow, doing canola plots there so will take a bit of time but should be done before supper.

New CWRS (Russel) seed planted may 7, majority 3 leaf and will start doing in crop this wkend since we never did a glyfos application this spring.

As long as you have one good headlight the unemployed sprayer operator can take the night shift.

Ole school Bourgault with Dutch paired row and shank mounted packers …


Horsch planter on canola that has missed frost damage so far …
