It was a great day for an on-farm demo in Farley, Iowa, with our dealer CJ Beeps Equipment LLC.
The VELOCE 500 is 16'6" wide with a double cage roller configuration.
The operating speed of 12-13 mph and 3" working depth offers good residue management with high soil coverage after the pass.
The Veloce impressed the farmer that has been using a vertical tillage tool, which was slower and less effective.

I want to thank Rual Radio, Sirius/XM Channel 147, for renewing my contract for a second season but more importantly, allowing me to begin posting the full episodes of my show with commercials as a podcast on my website. A number of listeners have asked me to do this since if they missed the show over the weekend or wanted to go back and listen, they could not. I wanted the entire show as it would air since ad spots are valuable not only to the sponsors but the listeners too, to learn about a product, service, or piece of equipment that may benefit their farm or ranch.
Rural Radio only had files that go back three months, so that is when the posting dates begin. The show will always air first on Rural Radio and then one week later post as a podcast. I sincerely hope that you take advantage of these educational shows. Thank you!

"One of the most concerning issues for farms and ranches is that the estate tax exemption that currently is held at about $11.7 million per person through 2025. This measure would reduce that in half to about $6 million per person starting at the end of 2021," said Reece Langley of the National Cotton Council.
