“The main reason we changed to VOS was because of how it distributes the fertilizer. Alternative openers just spray the fertilizer on the soil after the coulter. I wanted the fertilizer to be under the seed or at least under the soil. VOS does just this, plus I can go straight from rape seed to beans without changing anything on the drill leg.”
