Start of season 2025 | 2x John Deere on tracks | Planting onion sets

Onion sets or set onions are one of the first crops to go in to the ground at the start of a new farming year. In The Netherlands they can be planted in late January or early February, if the weather conditions allow. Certain varieties can also be planted in the autumn (October/November) as 'over wintering sets', as is the case here. This is an organic crop being planted by TVA Organics / Mts. Twisk in Flevoland, NL.

This farm uses 2 John Deere tractors fitted with Soucy tracks. First the grass/clover stubble is ploughed using a New Holland T6.180 and Lemken Juwel 8 4 furrow plough. The land is prepared using a John Deere 6830 and Lemken Kompaktor. The onions are planted by a John Deere 6130R and 6,75m wide Warrens Delta Planter, that is planting 3x 2,25m wide beds.
