4/28/2021 Even in today s technology-driven world, the NASA program that landed men on the moon and brought them back safely remains one of the most remarkable accomplishments in American history. Achieving that, however, didn’t come without a lot of trial and error. Jeremy Jack believes the same is true of technology in farming. “Like the Apollo missions, we may not be successful the first time, but we learn from our failures and try again,” says Jeremy, who is in charge of the day-to-day operations at Silent Shade Planting Company in Belzoni, Mississippi. “Sometimes you have to have epic failures to figure a technology out.”

1/16/2021 As the first two-row planter for use with a tractor, the Model 290 Check Row was considered the latest in precision planting when it was introduced by John Deere in 1941. With the ability to plant 30 acres per day, the planter was a combination of well-known and new advances. “The familiar check row system required the farmer to stretch a length of wire across the field. The wire, which had knots in it at regular intervals, would pass through a drop mechanism on the planter,” says Neil Dahlstrom, Branded Properties and Heritage Manager at John Deere. “As the planter moved across the field, the knot would trigger the drop and deposit the seed. It replaced having an operator sitting on the planter to pull the drop lever.”
