Hayfield Production!

Conventional cultivation can have devastating effects on soil.

With traditional cultivation techniques, soil is often ploughed several times to create a fine seed bed and control weeds.

This will expose soil particles to erosion from wind and rain, destroy humus and result in severe breakdown of soil structure.

Repeated passes by heavy tractors and equipment lead to soil degeneration and to the formation of almost impenetrable layers of compacted soil (“hard pan”) below the surface.

Livestock grazing, combined with these factors, contributes to soil compaction/“hard pan” formation. “Hard pans” can develop at any level in the soil and will constitute a barrier to water and oxygen entry and will prevent deeper, healthier root growth.

When soil is compacted and a “hard pan” forms; helpful soil microbes and earthworms are reduced or eliminated, pastures dry out faster, become waterlogged quicker and plant growth is restricted; resulting in lower crop and pasture yields.

The AerWorx Aerator’s blades will penetrate and shatter the “hard pan” without exposing the soil to erosion.

It works in all soil types – from sandy to heavy clay to rocky – from flawless hayfields to rugged terrains.

Hillsides are able to capture the rainwater – avoiding run-off. Chemical and natural feritlizers are absorbed and filtered through the soil and to grass roots.

In its no-till application, hay fields can be worked while leaving them smooth. Grass roots remain down – not exposed to sunlight. Cattle can remain in worked fields.

Relieve soil compaction and root-bound sod. Stimulate grass roots to grow down, resulting in greener, thicker grasses. Receive nutrient by turning ground into a sponge, absorbing all rain, fertilizer or natural waste applications. Avoid run-off in hilly terrain. Extend the life of your fertilization time period.

Save time and fuel – increase grass yield and stocking rates!

6 Reasons W hy You Should Aerate Your FarmAeration gives water and nutrients better access to the root systems 1. of your forage. As the tines of the aerator penetrate, twist and exit, they create an easier means of getting vital elements to the roots of your plants. The more nutrients that water can take to the roots, the more productive the pasture can be.

Aeration reduces fertilizer costs. Aeration can cut your fertilizer 2. costs up to 35%.Aeration enhances the use of manure on pastures. Many farmers 3. use manure from poultry houses as fertilizer for their pasture. When combined with aeration, manure can become an even more important element of forage production.

Aeration reduces soil erosion. When water hits a pasture, it will 4. either run in or run off; and when it runs off, it takes part of the soil with it. Aeration allows more of the water to run in.Aeration enhances the outcome of no-till planting. As more farmers 5. adapt the practice of no-till planting, many are discovering that aeration prior to planting yields better results.

Aeration is effective in a variety of soil types. When a farmer is 6. faced with a rocky soil, a sub-soiling tool is often found to be useless. With the unique rotating tine system of the aerator, rocky soil is not a problem. It allows producers who do not have the ideal soil environment to still take advantage of aeration benefits.

Prosperity Through Soil CareThe Finest in Pasture Aeration with more than 35 years experience

Two permanent pastures cut the same day. The first picture is regrowth after 7 days as you would expect it. The second photo was cut and photographed the same time as the first. The difference being it was aerated the previous autumn with one of our machines.

The grass is a good week ahead of the non-aerated pasture. The roots are deeper and the pasture has got away quicker.

3. The last picture (below) was taken from the same pasture, approx-imately 3 weeks after aeration. The root structure has improved and fresh root growth is searching deeper.

1. The picture below shows compacted soil. Horizontal compaction lines in the soil make it hard for water, slurry and oxygen to penetrate to the roots, starving them of vital nutrients, resulting in poor grass growth.

2. The middle picture shows the same soil straight after aeration. The soil has lost its shape, is loose and friable. Vertical fractures are now visible and any water, slurry and oxygen can travel around the roots. This fracture can only be achieved when the ground is hard or dry and only our machines are heavy enough to penetrate the hard soil at speed.
