The Crush-Rite is Rite Way's prototype low input crimper-roller we are currently testing to determine the best configuration.
Crush-Rite would be used by:
- organic farmers
- farmers who want to reduce the amount of crop inputs they are using
- no-till farmers who need help managing trash left by corn, sunflowers, clover, canola and other crops that don't break down over the winter on their own
- farmers who want to prevent soil erosion
- innovative farmers experimenting with new crops and cover crops
Why will they use Crush-Rite:
- kill, knock down and crush cover crops before planting their cash crop
- in fields left fallow, control weeds without the use of chemicals
- crush stalks and stems left over from harvest so the microorganisms and moisture can get into them and break them down over the winter
- reduce or eliminate the need for chemicals
