AerWay 1
AerWay News from the Field
Mark Anderson, partner in Landview Farms -
Eagle Bridge, N.Y.
Oversees 1100 milkers on two farms and spreads manure on 900 acres.
“We purchased our first 12Ft. AerWay SSD system in 2003 to control manure runoff on sloping hills. We spread 10,000 to 12,000 gallons per acre, sometimes on 10% slopes and the uniformity of the spreading with the AerWay is super compared to other spreaders. The manure stay’s where you put it, for that reason we purchased a second AerWay in 2004. Our neighbors are also happy with reduction in odor.
AerWay units pay for themselves as our corn yields have increased and the fertilizer purchases have decreased. A farmer can really put a dollar figure on the amount of money saved with the AerWay system. Landview Farms now owns 3 AerWays and we have 2 more units on order for this 2008 Spring.“

Cash Crops 1200 Acres corn and soybeans
“Last Fall I worked standing corn stalks with my 15Ft CCT AerWay and found that the stalks deteriorated quite a bit by Spring. Literally I saw no difference when I Spring cultivated the AerWayed ground and planted into in the corn stalks compared to my traditional tillage practices of chopping stalks and V-ripping.
This past Spring I planted 450 acres of corn on Fall AerWayed soybean stubble. The soil worked up very mellow creating a good seedbed. My neighbors commented on how uniform and even my corn fields look. I am impressed by the way the AerWay works.”

John and Justin Agee- farm large acreage corn on
corn.
“We bought our first AerWay about seven years ago. The AerWay has allowed us to do more corn on corn”. On striptill with guidance systems, it has made our farming operation more manageable with less machinery cost. We have eliminated compaction and our yields have steadily increased. We have several neighbors inquiring about the AerWay and the job it does”. Quote from John and Justin Agee, Illinois farmers .

Award Winning Conservation Tillage
Farmers Use AerWay
Curt, Dan and Greg Swartzmiller
Winners- National Core 4 Conservation Award
Diamond S Farms – Attica, Ohio
The Swartzmiller’s farm 2,300 acres of corn, wheat and beans.
Curt Swartzmiller has this to say ”the design of the tool has
really allowed us to make conservation tillage very profitable.
We chose the AerWay to increase oxygen levels in the soil.
The tool fractures the soil, creating pockets for air and water to
move while leaving the protective residue on the soil surface.
I can’t say enough good things about this tool. I would definitely
recommend this tool to other farmers.”
