Farm Shop's Germinator® Closing Wheels Gets Reviewed by Renowned PFR Agronomist, Clayton Stufflebeam
The revolutionary Germinator® closing wheel by Farm Shop MFG gets reviewed by industry specialist PFR Agronomist Clayton Stufflebeam.
ARMSTRONG, Iowa, March 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Farm Shop MFG, a leading Farm innovation device provider responsible for the creation of the Germinator® closing wheel, has been reviewed by the prestigious Becks Hybrids Practical Farm Research Agronomist Clayton Stufflebeam. The review consisted of Clayton comparing the Germinator® closing wheels with Copperhead Furrow Cruisers; Beck's PFR favored the furrow closing system by Farm Shop due to its untethered performance and excellent seed-to-soil contact. The testing between both systems took place in the spring of 2022.
The Germinator® is a revolutionary system improvement, which helps germination immensely. It's a great product because it eliminates furrow closing problems and improves yield significantly and can be used on any planter with an OEM V-closing wheel system.
The Germinator® closes the furrow behind it using its patent pending technology that engages soil particles to provide excellent seed-to-soil contact. This helps deliver an even stand and higher germination rates while reducing potential crop damage caused by furrow sidewall smear or air pockets.
Regarding the Germinators and Copperheads, the renowned agronomist suggested a clear difference in performance. The Germinators performed better than the Copperheads when planted in a similar area of 20 acres. With this same soil type and planting spacing, Clayton saw that the Germinator wheels were slightly more productive than the Copperheads. In addition to this observation, He also noted that these two systems had nearly identical emergence - but Germinator® had a better seed-to-soil contact resulting in an "even" stand, and went on to support that Germinator® was one of the best closing wheels he had tested.
"This is a great achievement for us. We are proud of the Germinator® and all its users," said the company's CEO.
The CEO also added, "The reviews by PFR Agronomist Clayton Stufflebeam have been fantastic, as they reflect farmers' positive experiences with our product."
