Always learning! It was an honor to sit down with Dr. Patrick Freeze from Ward Laboratories, Inc. At Vitalize, we’re always pushing the envelope with a balanced, science-based approach to soils. That’s why we don’t just rely on our own knowledge base to answer customer questions. We also lean...

For sure! I should have clarified that better. I meant that you still need to go over the machine, replace bearings, make sure the tubes are clear, make sure the double discs aren't jammed up, etc. Some day I hope to have a nicer drill, but for now, I have been pretty happy! Now, if we can get...

I think you would be fine. Especially if you can tow it home, or whatnot. Small amounts of time make a big difference.

I would check the lifting capacity on your tractor. I have a 75hp Case, and the rear lift capacity beats the brakes off the JD and Kubota - one of the reasons I went with that particular tractor. It throws this drill around with ease. I suspect on a 55hp, you'll be ok, but terrain will be...

This is interesting because I, too, have explored this topic and never found it to be factual. Actually, I found that auto insurance companies roughly pay out $200 billion a year. Deer collisions/payouts (although frequent) come to be .5-3% of the total payout per annum for these companies. I...

So that is a very difficult discussion point, for various reasons. 1. Other than EHD, Ohioans dont kill enough to keep the population from growing - at a state level. The state is, of course, worried that if it eliminates baiting, it will further drive down hunter success. 2. A counterpoint...

I have seen some folks flip it so it’s on top and there is more down pressure on the flaps. I personally never liked them but I always plant green. I’m sure it would be helpful to get some of the trenches closed but at end of day - when we get rain in Ohio - I’ve been able to grow some very nice...

The best times of my life are spent with my little buddy on tractor We replanted a few acres due to drough. This morning, he wanted to clean out the drill all by himself! I am always trying to teach him to care for our equipment and why it matters. I am fairly certain he will be far better...

EHD + Harvest Pressure = Recovery Trouble I’ve been running numbers on Ohio deer densities, using 20–25 deer per square mile and a 36-square-mile township as the baseline. Here’s what happens when disease and harvest overlap: 30% EHD kill + 27% harvest (statewide average): Herd does not...

I will add that for SE Ohio, they are saying this year was the perfect storm. We had TONS of rain in June/July - things were looking great for water flow and reducing stagnant pools of water, albeit never 100%. However, in August, the spicot turned off. We have not had rain in 15+ days in much...

Oh yes sir! He’s my best buddy!!
