PROJECT SUMMARY
Crisafulli: No-till equipment
SITE SUMMARY
Deer Run Farm operates on 1,000 acres of hay fields. Approximately 250 acres are double-cropped with winter rye and sorghum before going into new hay fields each year.
OPERATION TYPE
Cropland
SITE FOCUS
Equipment
SITE RESOURCE CONCERN
As no-till equipment is used over 250 acres, twice each year, the double disk openers on the no-till drill become dull and cover crop seed germination and uniformity is reduced. This reduces the potential for soil health conditions.
RESOURCE CONCERNS
No-till equipment in use
SOLUTION
New double disk openers help ensure cover crop stands germinate properly and improve the potential for good soil cover and soil health.
