No-Till Corn Transplanter

Reducing tillage or eliminating it from your regime can improve your soil’s structure and stability, water infiltration and water-holding capacity, organic matter content, temperature, moisture, and beneficial micro-organisms, and reduce compaction, runoff, erosion, ponding, and other issues.

The NH Association of Conservation Districts has four no-till corn planters equipped with roller crimpers that are available to borrow. If you plant silage corn, sweet corn, or squash and you also plant cover crops, you may be eligible to borrow this equipment to try out no-till planting for yourself. There are three larger planters (4 row), and one smaller planter (2 row).
