I was converted by our neighbor who had bought the prototype 3m Hybrid.
We hired the drill off him for the first year and did some trials on our own farm. He was less impressed with the drill and as our own trials proved very successful, we bought the drill off him.
This will be our third full season with the drill. For the last 2 years I have had the feeling that other local farmers thought that I had lost my marbles. But now a few are starting to come forward and say that they are watching what we are doing with great interest.
The contract drilling has really taken off this year and we are now doing a few trial fields for customers neighbors as they have been impressed with what they have seen over the hedge. It appears to be spreading like a disease. If we get much more work I am going to have to invest in a second drill.
