How Do Your Meters Run?

Every additional percentage of meter accuracy adds 1-2 more bushels per acre.

Meter calibration is the first step toward singulation & spacing perfection. Our MeterMax® Ultra test stand can evaluate each meters performance, allowing for fine tuning to bring your accuracy where it should be.

At Bauman Agency, we run a variety of seed sizes, planting speeds and populations through meters. Our growers receive a detailed row-by-row performance sheet and recommendations.

Call Bauman Agency today.

We offer complimentary meter pickup and return if requested.

Plot Performance for 2018

Harvest has come to a close (or nearly so) for most of us in eastern South Dakota, and as we approach the holiday season it’s important to look back and give thanks for the things that have gone well in the past year. We have been privileged here at Bauman Agency to have the opportunity to test some of these hybrids ourselves, and to work with several other farmers who were willing to devote some of their precious crop land to testing Pioneer Hybrids both new and old. We’d like to thank each of them for their help!

Of course, sales for next year’s seed is already underway, and knowing what varieties performed well will be essential in helping any operating decide what it will put in the ground next year. We hope you find the details of this year’s plot performance helpful in making these decisions for your farm and your family. As always, if you need help, just give us a call. After all, here at Bauman Agency we see seed from your side of the fence.
