Manure Sensing system gets DLG and government approval
John Deere Manure Sensing is now DLG certified for all three main liquid organic fertiliser types. Cattle manure was certified in October 2017, and the German Agricultural Society has now approved the calibration for pig manure, including phosphorus (P2O5). The biogas liquid digestate calibration has also been improved and is now certified for dry matter, total N, NH4-N (ammonium N) and K2O (potassium oxide).
Kemper StalkBuster receives Gold Medal at Agritechnica 2017
Kemper's new StalkBuster is designed to break up the crop stubble directly below the self-propelled forage harvester's header, destroying the overwintering habitat of the corn borer pest and reducing the risk of fusarium in the soil. An additional mulching operation is therefore no longer necessary.
