New At The Farm Progress Show
The show stopper at this year’s Farm Progress Show was a 60-row planter and cornhead designed for 12-in. corn rows. Stine Seed Company had the equipment custom-built to test its high-density hybrids. Last spring they planted 51,000 plants per acre in the ultra-narrow rows. Each plant had about 12 in. of equidistant growing room. This fall they’ll harvest the crop with a 20-row cornhead mounted on an STS Deere combine. The planter bar was manufactured by Bauer Built of Paton, Iowa and the cornhead by Calmer Corn Heads of Alpha, Ill.
