Machinery Selection Process

 Using the criteria from the preliminary report, safety and durability are top priorities and I am very carefully picking apart all machines to ensure they meet these standards efficiently.

It also assists in controlling  pests and weeds, replenish soil nutrients , reduce the need for pesticides/herbicides and reduce tillage.
