Today, farmers can conquer acres of land faster and more efficiently than ever before. Did you know that farmers can now prepare their land 1,800 times faster than with a spade and 122 times faster than with the 1800’s plow? With all of this tillage equipment and technology made available to farmers, it has become increasingly more important to understand the right time and place to use it.
