Jeff and Kent Need no-till about 1,500 acres of corn and soybeans, and seed cover crops, near Frankfort, Ind. Jeff says his grandfather was a huge proponent of conservation and his uncle has success no-tilling soybeans, which inspired Jeff and Kent to begin no-tilling more than decades ago. They see no-till practices as necessary to preserve the rolling to gently rolling fields they’re farming.
Frankfort, Ind., no-tiller Jeff Need discusses the John Deere 1690 air seeder he uses to seed soybeans, which is outfitted with a Needham Ag narrow gauge wheel, spike closing wheel, seed-firming tabs and narrow firming wheel to optimize seed placement into the slot.
