Having studied the market, Eidam’s knife roller combines a number of details for chopping cover crops. We tried the machine out in the spring

With German farmers having a little bit more experience with growing cover crops, it means the nation also has more homegrown talent when it comes to incorporating the green manure, not to mention chopping maize stubble so it can’t provide overwinter accommodation for the hugely destructive corn borer beetle. One of the latest makers to come up with a knife roller is Eidam, a machinery dealer and engineering business from the east of the country.
