Planting Corn

Massey Ferguson 8200 Air Duct No-till Planter

Keith Kisling plants corn this way.  The tanks are for liquid fertilizer and the hoppers are for seed corn.  This seems amazing to me.  He did not disc this soil but that planter put in the seed just the same.  That seems to be the beauty of the no-till.  I can tell from the sound that the tractor must work hard to pull it.

The planter has a fan which pressurizes the air ducts to the plates.  They are vertical, unlike old time planters and the air holds the seed in place until it can be dropped.

I believe that Keith told me he as as many as 5 large tanks containing the liquid fertilizer.  He can go back for a refill as needed.
