Custom Planting Benefits

Start your season off right by having your crop custom planted. Maximize your seed's potential through:

sub-inch guidance
row-by-row seed control
dynamic downforce (& lift)
in furrow insecticide
population Rx
timely & professional

Cleaner Soil Surfaces

Air adjusted, floating row cleaners move debris away from the planted strip allowing soils to warm up faster, and improving seed-to-soil contact in the seed trench.

Our Planting Process

Our planting services starts long before the planter enters a field. Its starts months before during the off season in the shop with thorough, detailed maintenance. All openers, scrapers, points, shoes, closers, bearings, etc are examined and routinely refreshed. All parallel arms, air lines, hydraulic hoses, wire harnesses, etc are inspected and refurbished as needed. Also during this same time, guidance equipment is setup and readied. Field boundaries are digitally mapped, and guidance lines to be used in season are setup. This ensures swift operation and efficient use of seed. Once the weather warms up, the tractor and planter are completely calibrated and put through their paces. With no seed in the meters, the planter pulled through the soil, "mock planting", to ensure all systems operate as indented. Finally as the planting window approaches, an order of operation is established, and the planter is setup for the first crop. Once in the field, as anticipated day one of planting is full of digging, making adjustments, and repeating. This cycle is then maintained throughout the season, always adjusting to the changing conditions. Once the final seed is planted, the drone takes to the sky. From a bird's eye view, operational performance is then evaluated, and the initial growing stages are monitored. Last, all planting data is collected, organized, and distributed (as requested).

In The Cab

Brett Gutknecht

Growing up as the youngest of three boys, when I was finally old enough to operate equipment, the last seat to fill in the spring was in planter tractor. Ever since my first pass, I've looked forward to each planting season and the activity that comes with. I enjoy the dynamic challenge of planting a crop, and strive to continually improve my skills with each spring.
