However, if we want to be sure, we need to sow in a good seedbed! The role of the seedbed is partly to create a moisture-stable soil structure. The fine
At the Precision Planting 20/20 event in Bugac, guests of András Börcsök had the opportunity to see firsthand what it means to work with one of the world’s best planting technologies. IThis year, at the Bugac farm, András Börcsök, together with Gergely Sebestyén, demonstrated what can be achieved with a modified John Deere 1770NT seeder in 2020. After the theoretical
