24-Row Planter

  Farmers always welcome rain but especially right before the planting season begins. 2019 was an extremely wet year and had many local farmers stressing about how they would get all their acres planted. The abundance of rain during the spring continued into planting season which provided the Texas South Plains farmers an especially challenging planting season. D&H Ag Services were glad they had added the right equipment – a 24-row planter. The large planter helped them get all their acres planted before the crop insurance deadlines. The 24-row planter was ideal for D&H Ag Services during the short planting window this year. When the soil dried out, D&H Ag focused on covering as much ground as possible in a day. The planting was accomplished quickly by covering an average of 63 acres per hour. They were able to plant between 600 and 700 acres per day with precise seed placement. In combination with their other planters, they were able to get all of their seed in the ground. Surprisingly, the maneuverability of the 24-row planter was efficient getting in and out of fields and traveling down the highway. These were not difficult tasks because of how nicely the planter folds up. And the 24-row planter was easy to use in small fields as the large planter lessens the number of times a farmer must turnaround in each field. While turning on the larger fields was not as challenging as one may have thought. The 24-row planter was a welcomed asset to the versatile equipment that D&H uses to plant their crops. After the planting season, the 24-row planter was simple to store because it folds up easily. The crop planting is complete, and now the cotton continues growing. D&H Ag Services has been pleased that they added this piece of equipment to their farming operations. For more information on D&H Ag, give Dusty Cornelius a call at 806.454.4100.
