Mrs. Knotts and her late husband, Don, were presented the National FFA Association Special Citation that was delayed because of bad weather for the state FFA winter convention. No-Till technology and maximum productivity in a 12’ size All of the benefits of Great Plains no-till technology are no available in a new 12 foot size. The new 12' End Wheel No- Till drill is designed to handle the planting needs of small to medium sized operations with maximum productivity. Built to the high quality standards of Great Plains, the 12' End Wheel No-Till drill will plant in the most demanding of no-till conditions with extreme accuracy. The end wheel design makes this drill extremely maneuverable. Keeping all ground-working com-ponents in-line with the end wheels prevents openers from bulldozing or bridging when working in rolling terrain. The end wheels also act as stabilizers to hold the openers steady when seeding on slopes. Excess debris is no problem for this unit. Opener and coulter stagger of 10 3/4' allows trash to flow evenly and freely. No-till coulters create a mini-seedbed allowing openers to concentrate on seed placement. Planting depth adjustments are quick and easy with the "T -handle depth control system. State of the art solid seed tubes ensure that the seed exits the chute with “zero motion drop' for ultimate seed placement accuracy. The optional Seed-Lok™ wheel then presses each seed Into moist soil for optimum germination. The improved straight-arm, solid stand opener design, combined with the cushioned press wheel provides maximum down pressure with less wear and tear.
