Maize is counted in the autumn (VIDEO)

A vivid metaphor about counting chicks in autumn has found its way into the maize fields of Tomas Skieraus’s farm in the Rietavas municipality. Five months ago, we planted maize using an MZURI seed drill and a HOLMER manure injection system, and eagerly awaited the autumn.

We wanted to compare how MZURI and HOMER technology differ from conventional, traditional sowing methods. After all, carrying out three tasks in a single pass is more efficient than repeatedly compacting the soil, creating ruts with slurry tankers and so on. 

So, month after month, we monitored the growth of the fodder crop. As Kęstutis Maciulevičius, the agronomist at T. Skieraus’s farm, says, he kept waiting for the weeds to finally break through, but they only appeared in the autumn.

And when the time came for the harvest, the “Agrobitė play” channel, together with Veslav Spiridovič, Head of Agricultural Machinery Hire, Services and Sales at UAB “Klovima”, Veslav Spiridovič, Head of Agricultural Machinery Hire, Services and Sales, we rushed over to inspect the site and, together with K. Maciulevičius, assess and discuss the results.

As V. Spiridovič emphasised, this unique combination will make work easier on any farm; the results and everything else are discussed in this report.
