The rains we had last week sure did help the crops, but now we are at the point where we need more. I started to see a lot of tassels this week on corn that is not very tall. Luckily wheat harvest yields were very good, and a few guys are going to try some double crop beans, but there is not much rain in sight for the next 10 days. This week our shop was as busy as it was in March. Assembling Salford tools and working on a lot of cover crop seeding projects for fall. This is typically our slower time as far as in field service and on demand service, but we work really hard this time of year to do improvement projects to make December–June easier. We are lining up several cover crop seeder installation trips for this summer. If you need put onto the list, be sure to reach out!

This is a cool project. A 60' hydraulic fold boom mounted to a 3 point cover crop seeder. With this you can go into standing beans, or of course do a post harvest spread.
How to Pan Test, Calibrate, and Set Rates on a BBI Spreader
The BBI Lineup is spreaders is hard to beat, Stainless steel where it belongs and a very stout and thought out design with a heavy undercarriage. Most may not pay much attention to their pattern or rates, but to BBI it is everything. Being able to throw a flat 60' or 80' pattern and drive on 80' interval is very important to the success of the tool. In the videos below, we show you how to pan test by catching a pattern, how to set rates, and many other tips on the BBI spreader.
