Successful Solutions

Jerry Buck knows that precision fertilizer placement is critical if he wants to get the most out of his investment and see healthy crops. "The Challenger fertilizer openers from Yetter put fertilizer about two inches to the side at the same depth as my seed," he said. "Any other coulter that runs two to three feet in front varies a lot in depth in relation to the seed. "My corn was able to take advantage of the fertilizer immediately because of the close proximity. I didn't worry that the fertilizer would be washed away by rain or not available to the seed down the road." In addition to the Challenger™ units, Jerry also uses Titan™ residue managers, and is pleased with their performance as well. Because Jerry is a mostly no-till farmer and plants into rocky soil, he appreciates both units' durability. "They are both bullet-proof and flex up and down over the rocks," he said. "It is absolutely essential to have strong row-cleaners and exact fertilizer placement, and the Yetter tools provide that."
