16 Sugar Producer NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2021 Buyers' Guide Planting Equipment l MONOSEM, INC. (913) 438-1700 www.monosem-inc.com MONOSEM NARROW-FOLD PLANTERS When the window to plant sugarbeets narrows in the spring, growers need to make the most of their time. Monosem is now using the NG+ four-row unit paired with the Bauer toolbar to provide large-frame, narrow-fold configurations. The 24-row, 22-inch configuration comes with a 100-bushel central fill system, as well as an optional 400-gallon liquid fertilizer tank. The planter is easily folded to an approximately 15-foot transport width to make transporting to the next field easier. Another advancement in technology for Monosem is the ability to add SeedStar2 to the planter. It is now easier than ever to change seeding rates, or plant map- based prescriptions with a Monosem planter, as well as connecting with John Deere Operations Center. l AMITY TECHNOLOGY (701) 232-4199 www.amitytech.com SECTION CONTROL FOR AIR SEED CARTS Section control is available for new orders of Amity's 3800 and 5250 air carts, providing growers with the ability to greatly reduce overlap in seed and fertilizer application. Designed to maximize benefits while simplifying use, Amity section control offers four sections and can meter up to three dry products. It supports both single and double chutes, and provides the capability to deliver all three products to the same opener. It also features turn compensation for improved rate control. The Amity system utilizes electric drives and individual meters for on/off control, as well as speed control, in contrast to hydraulic drive systems with on/off gates that are generally slower and can cause excess material to dump into the system when opened. This is a particularly significant advantage with small and higher-priced seeds. Section control retrofits for existing Amity air carts in the field will also be available in the near future.
