In the heart of the Riverina region, Austen Moore from Barmedman, New South Wales, has embraced a revolutionary change in his farming operations. By retrofitting his RFM air drill with RYAN NT Retrofit Double Discs, Austen has achieved unparalleled efficiency, fuel savings, and seeding precision. Here’s how these zero till seeder discs have transformed his approach. RYAN NT Retrofit Discs Deliver Next-Level Seeding in Barmedman
