You’ve heard it time and time again — proper residue management is essential for good seedbed preparation. It ensures uniform nutrient loading and soil temperatures, increases the likelihood of good seed-to-soil contact, and mitigates the risk of plugging and other during seeding.
We’re back on residue again, and it’s just driving me crazy that we still aren’t doing a good job of spreading that residue.
In this episode of the Wheat School, RealAgriculture’s Peter Johnson walks us around one farm owner’s solution: a hydraulic spreader add-on. Johnson also gives some mileage to newer combines, where residue management is finally getting the attention it needs. In fact, some of the newer models even adjust for wind.
