Spring is around the corner, which means it’s time to get ready for planting season. A well-planned approach ensures higher yields and a smoother operation. Here are some expert tips from H&R Agri-Power to help you prepare.
1. Inspect and Tune Up Your Equipment
Before you hit the fields, inspect your tractors, planters, and sprayers to ensure they’re in top condition. Check:

Healthy soil is the foundation of a successful crop. Conduct soil tests to determine nutrient levels and apply the right fertilizers accordingly.
