With the exception of the Vesco Terra – Glide no-till technology, there has been limited improvement to no-tillage equipment in the last 20 years and metering systems have remained virtually unchanged for the last 50 years. Officials at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) have informed the Company that they believe the market will readily accept the technological advancements offered by the Vesco no-till system. Comprised of a suite of patented technologies, the Company’s strong competitive advantage is the combination of precision opener, T-Slot seeding with precise metering of deep and/or side banding fertilizer and complete close of surface soil.
Extensive testing under numerous soil, surface residue and weather conditions confirmed superior agronomic benefits including increases in crop yields, reduced soil erosion, reduced seed and fertilizer usage and soil moisture retention.
“My 15 year interaction with the principals of the Terra-Glide Technology leaves me no doubt: The Terra-Glide products will significantly help farmers around the world benefit from modern agriculture production and conservation methods. I see in the Terra-Glide technology, the opportunity to participate in an exciting and enduring commercialization of a wide variety of modern machines and methods which will serve agricultural farm lands over a scale, from single subsistence farmers to advanced large scale food producers.”
Dr. Keith Saxon, Agricultural Engineer, United States Department of Agriculture Research Station, 2003
The Vesco Terra-Glide no-till technology was designed for mass production, resulting in fewer moving parts, ease of replacement part installation and streamlined manufacture and assembly.
