Did you calibrate your planter for proper planting depth? Have you done a soil check? What are your anticipated planting dates? All vital questions growers and agronomists are asking this time of year!
During this episode of the Illinois Pioneer Agronomy Podcast, host Crystal Williams talks Brad Mason, an agronomist based in Macomb, IL, about pre-planting tasks and checklists. Mason also gives some advice about what to look at as you’re breaking out your planter for the season.
“I know it’s time consuming calibrating the planter,” Mason says. “But it’s worth spending the time, and we’ve had great weather this year to do it.”
