Apple Farm Service schedules planter clinics for 2025 season
 
COVINGTON, Ohio — Apple Farm Service, a family-owned set of ag equipment dealerships, wants to make certain our area farmers are ready for a productive planting season with this year’s line-up of planter clinics. This local dealership will be offering free educational clinics in February to anyone who runs or operates a Kinze or Case IH planter.
“The goal of these clinics is to get your planter field ready with less in-field issues,” said Apple’s marketing manager, Kent Holmes. “These clinics are service led with servicing being the main focus.”
Apple Farm Service wants all farmers to make sure their equipment is safe, ready to operate, and operated to give the best results for straight even rows with perfect singulation and germination.
To help accomplish this, they will be offering two days of planter clinics. These clinics are open to all Kinze and Case IH planter owners or operators, no matter where they purchased or service their equipment. These hands-on meetings will be run by their head Kinze and Case IH planter mechanics.
The dates and locations of these meetings are:
Kinze Planters: 
Covington, Ohio – Feb. 19, 10 a.m.; 
West College Corner, Ind. – Feb. 20, 10 a.m.
Case IH Planters: 
Covington, Ohio – Feb. 19, 1 p.m.; 
West College Corner, Ind. – Feb. 20, 1 p.m.

Topics of these meetings include:
- Wear parts and kits to watch and install
- Annual servicing walkarounds
- Field starting tups
- Troubleshooting before and during planting
- Planter monitor troubleshooting and calibrating
-New upgrades and kits
A free lunch at noon is included with your RSVP to either clinic. Those who attend will also receive a seed depth meter and level tool. Apple Farm Service will also be discounting planter parts at 10 percent with their Spring Parts Sale that will be occurring over these dates.
Those interested in RSVP’ing for this event can do so by visiting AppleFarmService.com/Events and selecting their clinic, or they can call into the Covington store at 937-526-4851 and press 0 for the main desk.
