Description

Take a walk on the wide side with Bob Recker of Cedar Valley Innovation. A John Deere retiree who just couldn’t leave the industry, Bob spends his time now working with cooperating farmers to run test plots and research. One of his areas of focus recently has been on the potential benefits of planting corn on 60-inch rows...benefits which could include improved soil health and reduced fertilizer demands. Join editor David Jones, co-hosts Chad Wagner and Chrissy Taylor, along with field editor Dean Houghton and his guest Bob Recker, for a look into the wide wide world of wide-row corn planting. And be sure to see Dean’s article, A Walk on the Wide Side, from the Spring 2018 issue of The Furrow.
