An Iowa farmer says a new seed treatment technology launched at this week’s Farm Progress Show could be a game changer for how farmers help improve the environment.
David Currie of Odebolt says the new On-Seed line from Pivot Bio will improve efficiency on his family’s farm. “I’m getting it ahead of season, so I know that I don’t have to do any spring tillage work or anhydrous,” Currie said. “This really eliminates a pass across the field and so it’s a really neat product for us and the future of our operation.”
Keith O’Bryan, Director of Agronomy and Seed Treatments with Pivot Bio, tells Brownfield On-Seed’s microbes cling to the root of the plant without any waste, providing nitrogen throughout the critical growing cycle.
