See inside the soil
SmartFirmer is a seed firmer-sensor that measures the amount of moisture available to the seed, organic matter, and temperature, so you can adjust your depth correctly and know have a consistent crop stand.
Collects Data from the Sidewall of the Seed Trench
SmartFirmer is a sensor that is firming the seed while measuring the furrow and sending feedback to the 20/20. View data from the soil such as organic matter, seed available moisture, clean furrow, live CEC data, and temrpeature.
Firm the Seed
When seeds don’t make it to the bottom of the furrow, there is an air gap that causes a delay in emergence. Smart Firmer presses each seed to the bottom of the furrow, removing air pockets, to improve seed-to-soil contact and give you a great crop stand.
A consistent environment is essential for uniform seed germination and plant growth. SmartFirmer identified irregularities in the furrow, at every eighth of an inch, so you have the information to correct row-unit performance.
What is SmartFirmer Sensing?
Seed Available Moisture
Soil moisture is measured and displayed so you can make adjustments to get seeds into adequate moisture for proper and even emergence.
Clean Furrow
Measure the quality of in-furrow residue and adjust row cleaners accordingly, ensuring residue won’t limit seed moisture uptake or transmit disease.
Soil Temperature
See real-time temperature as you are planning so you can make the right decision so you can make the right decision on when and where to plant, according to Mother Nature.
FurrowJet Compatible SmartFirmer
This model is designed to sit in front of FurrowJet on the same row unit, so you get the benefits of both products. Get real-time feedback on every inch of the furrow with SmartFirmer while FurrowJet firms the seed in the trench and places bands of fertilizer on and near the seed.
