Enhancing Soil-Seed Contact while Cover Crop Seeding with Next-Gen Rowbot

Fresh from the field where we have been testing our next-gen machine. We’re excited about the potential for using the new machine’s tracks to increase soil-seed contact, a key factor influencing cover cropping success. Shown in the video is one solution we are testing where we’ve added cleats that should help work the seed into the soil more than the tracks alone. We’re collaborating with Prof. Scotty Wells at the University of Minnesota on this project that’s funded in part by the Walton Family Foundation.
