Monore man tests new corn planting method in field
Raleigh Vander Waal of Monroe pioneers a corn planting system using a Ford tractor with two extra wheels and a steel frame to create a loose seedbed ahead of the planter. The rig crushes soil between tracks, leaves loose soil behind, and aims for easier weeding and better rain infiltration. Pfister Hybrid Company aid follows hybrid planting, with technicians from Town State College monitoring progress and the Chronicle planning future reports.
