Problems and Obstacles Solved by Cross Slot
To meet the growing demands of an increasing world population farmers need to double their food production over the next 20-30 years.
Improved companion technologies, seed hybrids, better soil and fertility management, weed and pest management, electronic and farm management, have not significantly increase yields over the last 15-20 years. USDA statistics for crop production attest to this.
A lack of understanding of the importance of seed placement.by farmers who use inferior seeding technologies at the time of seeding will already be limiting their yield potential.
Cross Slot has the ability to deal with many problems and obstacles including seed placement that no-till and conventional tillage farmers currently face including heavy residue loads, poor seed placement, poor germination and weak emergence resulting in lower yields.
Additional problems include the inability to protect and keep moisture, nutrients and organic carbon in the ground, essential to successful crops.
Farmers also have difficulties with current equipment seeding into wet ground conditions and at the other end of the scale seeding in a timely fashion into dry hard conditions.
Baker No Tillage designs, manufactures and markets the Cross Slot seeding technology. This includes the Cross Slot openers, air seeding drills from 5-35 feet and toolbars from 30-60 feet. BNT also provides parts and servicing support for farmers.
