WC ILL or on a HD on a road to 'somewhere'...

T-22 came out for veggy crops & according to most of what we used to hear about it, it did seem to work there.

The issue was always whether it worked for corn belt crops.

I've yet to hear from someone who doesn't sell it, or is 'close' to someone selling it that has ever had a consistant, profitable gain from it in corn/beans. Seems in a good part of any side-by-sides it actually reduced yields as many times as it did any increase - profitable or not.

Even Ed has backed WAY off the early product claims that he made.

Most give it up after they get done cleaning meters & monitor sensors a few times. I remember getting an e-mail from one guy who did a split planter check that wound up with a pressure washer wand stuck down in his planter boxes, trying to get the gum out the brush bean meters so he could get the boxes emptied! Vac planters are easy, they just suck it off the seed & blow it out the vacuum fans discharge....
