Precision Planting: Helping Farmers Get Better Yields

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Bryce Baker with Precision Planting gives an overview of the company, talks about some of the products they offer, and their commitment to precision.

Good morning. I'm Bryce Baker with Precision Planting. Precision Planting is an agricultural‑based company that does technology products as well as mechanical products. Our focus is on planters. We work with crops such as cotton, soybeans, corn. Those are the main crops we focus on. Why Precision Planting? Why is that important? First of all, seed placement is very important. Obviously, having seeds at the correct spacing when planting, at the correct depth, and then in the correct seed environment is very important for uniform emergence and germination of those seeds, which, in the end, then, is going to lead to the highest yield and the highest return. No matter if you're working with corn, with cotton, no matter what you do throughout the season, you need to start well.

Let's talk to you about a few of our products we have to help. For some of our different metering components we have, we have eSets for John Deere planters and eVac for finger planters, be it John Deere or Kinze. Those just help in singulating and spacing the crop well. We also have Keeton Seed Firmers, which help create a uniform depth.

Also, we have technology products. Our 20/20 family of products starts with the 20/20 SeedSense, 20/20 AirForce, and 20/20 RowFlow, which are advanced monitoring systems which will plug into an OEM planter harness, be it John Deere, Monosem, Case IH, Kinze, any of those different planters, and will give you much more information on the planter than any factory monitor would

‑‑ population, singulation, ground contact, spacing, row‑unit ride‑‑so that the operator of the planter has much better visibility to what's going on.

This is all important, because the more precise we get with every seed‑‑not just farming by the acre, but farming by the seed ‑‑ the more precise we are, in the end, the better the yields are going to end up.

So, once again, Bryce Baker with Precision Planting. If we can help you with anything, if you want to have more information about our products, we are on the web at www.PrecisionPlanting.com. Or you can call us. Our main office number is 309‑925‑5050. Thank you.
