DULUTH, Ga. (June 2, 2020)—Agco Corporation(NYSE:AGCO), a worldwide manufacturer of agricultural equipment, will be demonstrating new technologies to manage planting-time soil compaction during its 2020 Fendt Momentum Crop Tour program in North America.
After the wet planting season and late harvest of 2019, growers in many states dealt with planting delays from excess rain again in 2020. Being able to plant crops in a short window without adding to yield-robbing soil compaction is important for optimum crop productivity. Until now, high-capacity, central-fill planters used to optimize the number of acres planted in a day often bring a downside of pinch rows and tire-track compaction at the center of the planter. Damp soils only make the situation worse.
爱科创造了全新的Fendt®Momentum™ planter to help farmers solve these and other planting-time challenges. The Momentum planter’s capabilities will be showcased through a Fendt Momentum Crop Tour. As in previous years, this educational program uses the latest crop-mapping and data-collection technology to help growers better understand the interactions that influence crop performance so they can ultimately make better decisions based on their local conditions.
Crop Tour plots have been planted using the Momentum planter and the Load Logic™ weight-management system to demonstrate how the automated technology can reduce compaction to positively impact plant health and yield. The Crop Tour also will continue to demonstrate how best planting practices improve seedling establishment and crop yields. The program is in its fifth season.
“It’s really exciting to see how we can manage soil compaction from an equipment standpoint while still maintaining productivity with a high-capacity planter that can cover a lot of acres,” says Jason Lee, AGCO agronomist and farm solutions specialist who oversees the plots. The new compaction portion of the 2020 AGCO Crop Tour program will focus on how tire inflation, planter weight management and controlled traffic strategies can lessen soil compaction for optimum yields and higher return on investment for producers.
Corn has been planted in the plots using pre-production models of the Fendt Momentum planter, with locations at Pontiac, Illinois; Stewartville, Minnesota; Baltic, South Dakota; and Chillicothe and Lima, Ohio.

Traditionally, growers and dealers are invited to educational plot demonstrations in July and August to see crop differences first-hand and learn about the practices and technology involved. In consideration of customer health and concerns about COVID-19, AGCO is formulating plans to also share the agronomic knowledge from the Crop Tour with producers virtually. AGCO will report plot progress, event updates and harvest results through farm media outlets, as well as online and on social media atwww.fendt.com/us/planters/crop-tour;on Facebook at芬特全球; on Twitter@Fendt_NA; and on Instagram atFendt.Global.
