  • How could precision planting technology impact Ontario winter wheat yields?
    Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs cereals specialist Joanna Follings and RealAgriculture agronomist Peter Johnson are back with a final report on precision planting trials Follings conducted on her home farm at Ayr, Ont.
    RealAgriculture first visited the site in September 202o when trials were planted using four different seed drills. One of the objectives was to measure how seed planted using drills with new downforce technology (SeederForce) compared to conventional drills.
    On this season-ending Wheat School episode, Follings and Johnson review how the trials progressed throughout the growing season and share yield results. During the fall and spring, Follings noted that the SeederForce drills delivered stronger, more even emergence as well as more even tillering. The crop canopy also closed quicker in the spring.
