We have just recently finished the 2024 harvest, and it won’t be long before we say, “Break’s over. Back to work” for 2025. Many farms are already getting the ball rolling on equipment preparation for the next season. Winter gives you a great chance to give your planter a good going over. If this is the year that you think some changes are warranted; John Deere is ready to help you.
Anthony Styczinski is with John Deere. He talks about the first thing farmers need to think about: making sure the planter is in tip-top condition for 2025.
While there are some great new pieces of equipment, there’s also a good chance that you are happy with the planter you already have and would like to upgrade it. Styczinski talks about the options you have to get more out of your planter.
Many crop protection companies have come up with their own upgrades to your planters for their products. However, Styczinski says that by having your manufacturer already having equipment available, it will interface much easier with your existing precision tools.
These new in-furrow mods from John Deere are giving good results.
Styczinski runs down your options if you want to make the jump to newer options on a schedule that fits your finances.
