TIP: If your packing wheels are too wide, you risk surface compaction and a loss in cutting power—especially when planting green or in tough soil conditions. Research from the University of Nebraska shows the ideal packing wheel width is about 5” narrower than your row spacing. Narrower wheels help reduce row unit bounce without sacrificing depth, while still carrying the weight of the drill. It’s all about getting the most consistent seed-to-soil contact in any condition. #PHOutdoors ##PlantingGreen #PrecisionSeeding #UniversityResearch #SoilHealth #CompactionMatters

And that lime shadow in the distance is the track we used to move the dump wagons. Bean height is reduced by a foot or more. #compactionmatters

Might want to add a couple more axles first. Watch you axle loads #compactionmatters 😉

We are attending #precisionu20 compaction conference in Ohio because #compactionmatters! 🚜

We just received the new @OhioStatePA report and we’re part of it! Check it out 👇 #compactionmatters

Just an outstanding visual! What is crazy to consider is that most of our “native” bulk density’s for CNW soils in NCIA are in that 1.25-1.35 without additional wheel traffic.......thin margins for sure if you work them too wet! #compactionmatters

Same p date, field, N, hybrid program.... why the difference? N is not getting to the roots. #compactionmatters
