Crister Stark has been awarded the Commander Class of the Royal Order of Vasa, one of Sweden’s most prestigious honors, for his outstanding contributions to Swedish industry and the agricultural sector.

The start of a new growing season brings promise, especially when seedlings emerge quickly and uniformly. Quick emergence offers key agronomic advantages, including stronger competition against weeds, improved resilience to early insect pressure, and reduced risk from summer heat and fall frost. These benefits begin with early access to nutrients and moisture.

Inter-plant competition significantly impacts corn yield by limiting moisture and nutrient availability. Precision planting and even seed spacing are crucial for optimal emergence and growth. Regular field observation and emergence testing help evaluate planting equipment performance and ensure consistent crop development.

Väderstad's Fenix III metering system, combined with the dual-knife opener system on the Seed Hawk air drill, ensures precise product delivery and proper soil placement, leading to optimal plant growth and a greater return on investment.

Join Jeff Prosko from Rose Valley, Saskatchewan, as he shares his experience with the brand new PD 1350 Precision Delivery Air Cart. Jeff and his family run a diverse farming operation, and this spring, they had the opportunity to put the PD 1350 to the test on their canola fields.
