Welcome to the 2020 Fendt Momentum Virtual Crop Tour, with findings from the 5th year of AGCO Crop Tour on-farm planting demonstrations, our education-based program designed to help corn producers improve stand establishment and optimize yields.

At Fendt Momentum Crop Tour locations across the Corn Belt, the team asked new questions about the effects of soil compaction created by central-fill planters and demonstrated best planting practices. The results reveal ways growers can lessen the yield impact of wheel traffic and pinch-row compaction and maximize yields by planting seed with proper depth, downforce and spacing.

The 2020 AGCO Crop Tour plots were planted at Pontiac, Illinois; Stewartville, Minnesota; Casselton, North Dakota; Baltic, South Dakota; and Chillicothe, Ohio. At all five locations, corn was planted with a Fendt Momentum planter pulled by a row-crop tractor running dual tires.

AGCOAGCO - Virtual BoothMomentum’s design team are also farmers. The planter is designed for efficiency, accuracy and ease of operation. Eliminating required daily servicing and automating many of the traditional operator functions save growers’ time and reduce planting anxiety. Farming with precision is not just about disc openers and seed meters. Much of success and efficiency in planting comes from making it easier to run and maintain the planter. The easier it is to operate and service your planter, the more time you’ll save and performance you’ll achieve. This planter envisioned and designed by farmers. Momentum has the kinds of thoughtful additions they want.
