CAS FASTER FORAGE

Save Time. Save Water. Save Money.

Faster Forage is designed specifically for California forage production. By combining strip-till and advanced planting equipment with targeted plant nutrition, the Faster Forage program gets your crops growing quicker and harvested sooner, using less water AND improving your yields!

 

Strip-till is a form of conservation tillage allowing a grower to preserve crop residue left over after previous harvests. Tillage is done in one pass, on about a third of the surface, to create an ideal seeding environment without all the intensive work normally required.

​

Advanced planting equipment allows for on-seed (some call it colostrum for corn) as well as beside-the-row crop nutrition as you plant. Meters, monitors, and row-by-row automated downforce controls from Precision Planting, place each seed right where it needs to be with precisely the right nutrition from the POWER2GRO™ production program to ensure healthy plant and root growth.
