Benifits of the AerWay System
AerWay goes to the heart of soil problems by relieving compaction |
|
 |
Compaction makes both wet and dry soil conditions more severe. It reduces the water holding capacity of soil which makes drought conditions worse. As well, it inhibits drainage to make wet conditions more troublesome. |
 |
|
Soil Basics |
|
| Three systems work together to make soil productive: physical, biological, and chemical. Soil scientists agree that the physical condition of soil is the key to efficient biological and chemical activity, which in turn determine how much plant life the soil can produce. | |
Soil tilth: Why compaction is the farmer's #1 enemy |
|
Soil tilth is a measurement of the balance between basic soil elements: mineral, air, water, and organic matter. The proper balance of these elements increases soil production by allowing efficient interaction of all the soil systems. Air and water balance in the soil is the key to good root growth. Compaction stresses plants because air and water are "squeezed" from the soil. Biological and chemical activities which depend on air and water become severely restricted. Root growth is impaired, crop production suffers. |

Air and water move together |
|
| Correcting compaction makes a dramatic improvement in soil tilth. It is the most basic step you can take to improve crop production. That's because air and water move together in the soil profile. With proper air / water balance in the soil, all the biological and chemical systems work at peak efficiency. | |

Aerate and till in one pass |
Only patented AerWay Shattertines lift and fracture the soil to increase air and water movement. This "vertical tillage" is accomplished by the unique lead and twist of the Shattertines. Shattertines crack and shatter compacted soil 8 inches and deeper to open new channels for air and water while maintaining the valuable surface residue. Plants respond with stronger roots and better yields. As well, you will see improved fertilizer utilization, warmer soils, reduced runoff and greater moisture retention. |

See for yourself why award winning conservation tillage farmers agree ... there's nothing else like AerWay. |

Quick Adjust Advantage |
 |
| The patented AerWay Quick Adjust rollers allow you to control the degree of residue incorporation. For example, many farmers will run their AerWay at 2 1/2 to 5 degrees of swing angle for soybeans and increase it to 5 to 7 1/2 degrees for corn residue. | |
