Bacon Farms' John Deere 8R 370 with a 1725C Exact Emerge Planter | Riesterer & Schnell

This is a real-farm ride-along, not a dealer walkaround: Wisconsin farmer Mark Bacon narrates live while planting soybeans into strip-tilled ground with an 8R 370 and 1725C planter at about seven mph. He explains Gen 5 display screens, switching between standard guidance and AutoPath row-by-row guidance, and how strip till reduces planter row-unit movement versus conventional tillage. Best for buyers wanting real in-field tech and planting operation detail.

Posted by the Riesterer & Schnell dealership channel, but narrated directly by the farm owner using the equipment, so it reads as a firsthand operational account rather than a sales pitch.
