- What they found
John Deere’s ExactEmerge™ high-speed planting system was utilized at three various speeds in a field-size trial. The system performed as advertised; there was little to no difference between the speed ranges. Having the ability to wait for optimal conditions, targeting an optimal planting date, and not sacrificing planter performance will all be collective gains with this system.
