It's a short, practical how-to focused on technique and reasoning rather than tractor specs, best suited to viewers curious about cultivation practice on this tractor.
Posted by the Heinz Farms channel, an owner-operator sharing hands-on field practices from their own farm.
He does not plant Roundup Ready sweet corn, so he row cultivates to eliminate weeds and grasses between the rows instead of spraying.
They protect short corn during cultivating so the dirt being worked up between rows does not cover and bury the young corn crop.
They are used when the corn is really short, and can be raised once the corn gets a little taller and no longer needs that protection.
