Jacob from Live Oak Ag is planting cotton seed into Matt's cover crop field using an ExactEmerge planter with spike closing wheels. The cover crop has maintained soil moisture, allowing for minimal planter adjustments and better seed-to-soil contact at a depth of about ¾ inch.

00:00:00 Hey guys, Jacob here with Live Oak Ag. Uh, today we're planting our cover crop field that y'all been watching for the last couple of months. 00:00:06 Um, you see behind me tractor's coming in, planting with an exact emerge planter so we can monitor the downforce and see what we got going on there with our right quality. 00:00:16 And this particular exact emerge has spike closing wheels on it to help close up behind the trench. 00:00:23 Got great seed to soil contact, no trash in the furrow, plenty of moisture there. And to compare that to uh, field, not a mile from here. 00:00:31 Having me reworked again to try to get down to the moisture to plant cotton. Right now he's planting 00:00:36 about three quarters of an inch deep. Had to make minimal changes to the planter and everything, so everything's looking good. 00:00:42 We're excited about what we're gonna see. We're planning about 38,000 driver's satisfied. He is not bouncing around very much 00:00:48 or anything, so he is got a good smooth ride. Planter's got a good smooth ride, which is always important. We'll see what happens in a few days. We'll send a video. 24 00:00:54.815 --> 00:00:55.235
