- Robust 20-year design life, minimizes financing
payments - No pre-treatment of residues needed before seeding (true one-pass system)
- Crop rotations are not limited by residue handling problems
| - Exceeds all conservation objectives, plans and requirements
- Minimizes carbon emissions and maximizes carbon sequestration
- Equally cost-effective for farmers and contractors (custom drillers)
| "We are saving an average of 40-60mm of water a year. We've gone from averaging 4-5 T/ha of feed grains to 11-12 T/ha." (David Ward, Farmer, NZ)
"We have found there is one system that consistently has 70-80% crop residue left on the soil surface after seeding and that is the Cross Slot no-till system." (Hans Kok, Extension Agent, USA) |
