Planter Clean-out Video and Field Guides

A new tool is now available to help farmers protect the identity of these specialty crops during the planting process. Iowa State University (ISU) Extension, Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. and the Iowa Grain Quality Initiative (IGQI) have teamed up to develop the “Planter Clean-out Procedures for Corn and Soybeans“ video.

The VHS video can be ordered through the ISU Extension Web site: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/pubs/Order.html. The video identification number is VID 41. Clicking on the “Order Publications” link on the far left side of the page will bring up specific ordering instructions. The cost is $20.00, plus shipping, for Iowa residents and $25.00, plus shipping, for all others.

Field friendly planter guides outlining specific clean-out procedures for the planter types featured in the video are also be available for order. To order one of the laminated guides listed below, simply follow the procedures provided for ordering the video. The cost of each guide is $2.00, plus shipping.
