FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 27, 2024 – Boone, IA– Salford Group, a leader in agricultural innovation, is set to unveil its groundbreaking Precision Row Crop Cultivator at the Farm Progress Show 2024. This new addition to Salford’s lineup showcases unparalleled speed, accuracy, and efficiency, aimed at transforming row crop cultivation for modern organic farmers.
The Precision Row Crop Cultivator integrates cutting-edge camera and wand guidance systems, which allow for precise alignment and operation at speeds of up to 12 mph—more than twice as fast as traditional cultivators.

The ability to operate at speeds up to 12 mph is crucial for producers who need to cover more ground in less time. This cultivator offers a one-stop solution, eliminating the need for multiple machines and streamlining operations.”
