Effingham Update & Autosteer

by Matt Dehlinger, Effingham, IL

Over the past week the area has had 3-4 inches of rain. The last field work that was done was last Saturday in a very small area. Corn planting is a little over half done and there are a few beans planted. Most of the corn has made it up, but could use some warm weather. Hopefully next week we can get back in the field.

Autosteer has caused very few issues so far this year. I have had a couple Star Fire 3000 receivers that would not show up on the menu. I updated the software and they came back. I also had an iTC receiver that would not pull signal anymore and had to send it off to have it repaired. I have several good reports from guys that are using auto steer for the first time this year and are very happy and say they should have bought it years ago.
