Company Info
- Company Description
- Susterre is pioneering the use of ultra-high pressure fluid jet technology for row crop planting and seeding applications.
No-till farming is a technique for growing crops to minimize soil disturbance compared to conventional tillage. Leaving prior years’ crop residue on the field saves significant farming costs, while limiting moisture loss, improving the soil and preserving natural resources. Despite these benefits, adoption of no-till farming has been slower than expected due to the difficulty and cost of handling crop residue in specific cropping situations (particularly corn and soy).
Susterre has invented a new product that adapts ultra-high pressure water jet technology from the industrial world for use on planting machinery. Susterre's innovative technology enhances the adoption and the benefits of no-till farming. As a result, adoption of no-till farming will increase, improving farm profitability and productivity, enhancing the soil and preserving the earth's natural resources.
