Kelly Garrett - Arion, Iowa
A fifth-generation farmer, Kelly Garrett farms corn, soybeans, and winter wheat in western Iowa. We continue to work on planters, installing new closing wheels from Integrated Ag Solutions. We’re moving to more planter-applied nitrogen and fewer anhydrous applications this spring. There’s been an increase in yields with a 2×2×2 system on our planter, and we like the way The Closer systems incorporate the nitrogen into the soil around the seed instead of applying it on top.
