Furrow Drill Demonstrated to Cut Soil Blow and Winter Kill
A Judith Basin field study shows furrow drill seeding for winter wheat outperforms the common drill. The method places seed in furrow bottoms 12 to 14 inches apart, with discs reversed to form furrows, and uses press wheels for quicker germination. Trials by Moccasin and others report materially higher yields and fewer losses on summer fallow land.
