The 2018 No-till Seeding School is scheduled for August 9th. 

Get in-person coaching on seeder adjustments! Brush up on your knowledge before buying upgrades for your planter or drill. Think everything is okay because your super-high-tech planter monitor says so? Not so fast! Huge flaws in placement may exist. Get clarity on the physical actions needed for effective no-till seeding. Some very simple, easy adjustments often provide enormous improvement.

An array of adjustments & attachments on planters & drills will be shown in action. Inspect corn stands planted a couple weeks prior with the same configurations. Compare the choices. Learn the interactions amongst the components.

Watch our game-changing UniForce hydraulic downforce for JD 50/60/90 drills in action. And get a sneak peek at other developments in the world of no-till drills.

The main presenter is Matt Hagny, who has spent many hundreds of hours methodically examining seed placement in no-till. Hagny will deliver the hard truths in his candid, honest style, while keeping it entertaining. Blackwell, OK, highly successful no-tiller Tom Cannon will co-host (Tom is more attentive to planting details than anyone we know of).

Register for either of two sessions, both on August 9th:

9am–1:30pm (noon meal provided),
or 4pm–8:30pm (evening meal provided)

Tuition is $85/person, enrollment is limited. School is located at Jason Stansbury’s farm near Lorraine, KS with airport services available in nearby Salina, KS.
To enroll, call 785-820-8000 (Visa/MC/Discover accepted,
or pay by check if mailed sufficiently early).

“Well worthwhile. Very informational. One of the better things I’ve done—I could actually see what I was supposed to be doing, rather than just hearing someone talk about it. The planter demonstration was impressive as to the differences in what we’re doing with the operation of each component. Time well-spent.”
