More rain this week again. We had about 1" Monday and the grass will need mowed again over the weekend. County fairs are starting to wind down, the evenings are starting to get chilly and my boys found cicada shells last night on a tree, all of which points to shorter days and harvest time is near. For us, we are starting to get backed up in the shop a little as we have a dozen or so tillage tools that need to be built here before the end of September. A few cover crop seeder installation jobs will get us out on the road and getting those on VT tools. Right now we have a lot of welding and fabrication jobs between Y drop toolbars and a few others that are keeping us busy. We did get all of our jib cranes sold that were in the existing buildings when we purchased the new location. Those were for sale and did not last long. We held a field day event at our Nova store Tuesday and due to rain we were not able to run tillage. We got another 3/10 of an inch yesterday afternoon here.
Be sure to tune into our YouTube Channel. Have a great weekend, and feel free to call 419-953-8500.
This 25' VRT arrived Wednesday. We have a few sizes available for fall tillage.
Progress on the largest 5200 tool we have ever built.
See the video below on a Salford 2224 with hydraulic shanks and a Valmar seeder, what a universal tool!

Valmar Seeders: Seed your wheat, covers, and more
In the past, we have always named the Valmar seeders "cover crop seeders". However, it is not completely accurate. Although they can seed cover crops, it is only a small percentage of what they are and can be used for. Granular fertilizer, harvest wheat, soybeans, alfalfa, sudan grass, and more are just a few cash crops to be seeded with the Valmars. In the video below, you can see the carpet of wheat in my own field that was seeded with a Valmar, and I harvested an impressive yield this past July. You can get pull-type units, mounted units, 3 point units to fit what you are after.
