Talking new equipment, and digging in on a cover crop project

In this episode of Around Farm Progress, Tom Bechman, editor, Indiana Prairie Farmer, got a new way to look at equipment during production of the Farm Progress Virtual Experience. For the first time in years, he was able to spend quality cab time in many new machines to catch up on the tech. He offers his perspective on the new machines.   Over in Kansas, there's a growing interest in protecting watersheds, and cover crops may be the answer, but is flying them on the only way? Turns out, there's another way and the state is providing it with new machines hard at work using drop tubes and an onboard air seeder. P.J. Griekspoor, editor, Kansas Farmer is covering the development and you can see more coverage in her story, which includes video. Image: Combine cab – Chad Colby; cover crop seeder – P.J. Griekspoor
