Tackling Tough Ground with the John Deere 2430 Chisel Plow

Tackling Tough Ground with the John Deere 2430 Chisel Plow
Whether you’re taking on a large portion of land all at once or planning out a week’s worth of work, the 2430 Chisel Plow from John Deere can help you with the task at hand. The hydraulically adjusted knife-edge rolling baskets are specifically designed to shrug off rocks, break up clods, and leave a smooth field finish in one pass. The internal basket scrapers also reduce plugging and allow users to run the baskets 100 percent of the time for the utmost efficiency.
 
Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of the 2430 Chisel Plow and how it can help you out in the field this season.
 
TruSet Tillage Technology
 
With TruSet Tillage Technology, precise depth control is not a problem for producers. Adjustments can be made on the move, increasing productivity and making the day go smoother for operators. TruSet provides accurate and precise depth control, and the depth is displayed to the nearest 2.5mm. With TruSet Side-to-Side, operators have the same level of individual section control that was initially available with AccuDepth hydraulics.
 
Radial Tires
 
Radial tires are specially designed to reduce compaction points while operating in the field. This minimizes downtime that can be caused by tire failures in both the field and during transportation. Radial tires also have a wider tire plate and lower inflation pressure. This means they have a larger contact area with the ground to help minimize compaction.
 
Walk-Over Wheels
 
The 2430 Chisel Plow has walk-over wheels, which provide a consistent working depth on uneven ground for level seedbeds and maximum weed control. The staggered design of the wheels provides extra room for residue flow and obstacles as well.

Genetics Behind Swine Resilience - Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger

Video: Genetics Behind Swine Resilience - Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger


In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger, geneticist at Topigs Norsvin, explains how genetics can improve disease resilience in pigs. She explores how resilience differs from resistance, the role of genetic variation, and how breeding strategies can enhance health and performance under disease pressure. Dr. Dunkelberger also covers practical applications and future implications for swine production. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Controlled experimental trials confirm that differences in mortality and performance under disease pressure are linked to genetic background, even when environmental conditions remain consistent."

Meet the guest: Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger / jenelle-dunkelberger-9200ab86 is a geneticist at Topigs Norsvin, where she leads the Global Health and Behavior Research Platform. She earned her PhD from Iowa State University, focusing on host genetics and disease response in pigs. Her work centers on improving swine health and performance through genetic selection for resilience and behavior traits.
