New Drill Features Precision Seeding and Compact Transport Design

Great Plains has unveiled its latest innovation, the BD7510 drill. This new model incorporates advanced seeding and metering technology from the BD 7600, the company’s flagship drill, into a more compact and versatile design.

Farms.com recently met with Tony Wisker, vice president of sales and marketing with Great Plains, to learn more about this new drill.

Designed for both min-till and no-till farming, the BD7510 ensures precise seed placement while offering a streamlined transport system.

One of its key advantages is its narrow transport width, allowing farmers to move it easily on roads. The drill is available in 15-foot and 20-foot working widths, providing flexibility based on field size and farming needs.

Transport efficiency is a standout feature of the BD7510. With a width of under 10 feet during transport, farmers can easily navigate roads and tight spaces.

Its folding mechanism, which requires just one remote valve, allows for quick transition from transport to field-ready mode in a matter of seconds.

By integrating precision planting technology into a more compact frame, the BD7510 offers farmers greater efficiency without compromising on performance.

It enhances productivity by ensuring optimal seed distribution, making it a reliable choice for modern farming.

Farmers looking to upgrade their planting equipment with a drill that balances performance, efficiency, and easy transport can explore the BD7510 in the video below.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
