do further spraying or cultiva
tion until he has experience in
the use of the “No-Til” equip
ment.
As little as 30 minutes of la
bor per acre may be needed to
establish the corn and Myers is
aware of these savings. But he
also is interested in being able
tb use more of his land for corn
in any one year. “We get the
best production from corn,” he
said. “With this planter we hope
to plant more corn and still have
erosion control."
Easy-rolling, 17 inch fluted
blades cut through crop trash
or sod and prepare a 2Vfc inch
wide seedbed ahead of each
planting unit Myers isn’t sure
just how it will work out, but
he is sure the heavy rubber
torsion springs give maximum
penetration into the soil. And
the planter has proven in the
few days he has had it, that the
depth control is excellent. “The
planter has the ability to pene
trate,” he said.
Myers farms 150 acres of land
they own and he rents another
120. He is located along Long
Lane, South of Lancaster,
