Farmers are dialing in equipment for spring fieldwork.

“And make sure that planter is in tiptop shape and ready to go out and ready to work.”

He tells Brownfield anything that turns or makes contact with the soil should be evaluated, starting with disc openers.

“Make sure that your disc openers measure to your equipment specifications.
