Garford Robocrop In-Row Cultivator

Garford Robocrop In-Row Cultivator CULTIVATORS Jeremiah Evans Somerset Manitoba Canada: “I’m really impressed with my Garford Robocrop in-row cultivator Vol 34 No 1 I’ve only used it for one season but it really cleaned up all the weeds in the rows “I solid-seeded wheat rye barley flax peas and beans Our drill was set for 6 1/2-in rows and the Robocrop has 4-in shovels It works well and doesn’t take out any of the crop The pattern recognition software activates the weeding rotor to take out weeds between the plants in the row I can cultivate about 11 acres an hour with the 22-ft machine “As an organic producer I had no way to control wild oats thistles and quack grass in-crop It was a constant battle The only control was tillage before seeding and again in the fall I used to try in-crop harrowing but that was never effective “The Robocrop worked so well that we may take a look at adding some other crops to our rotation ”
