Seeding season is just around the corner and that often means you’re competing with the weather. So, running a drill or seeding unit at night in order to get a crop in the ground is far from out of the question, but it’s hard to see how that equipment might be functioning in the dark.

This is where Tri-Side Ag’s Underdrill Light Kit comes in. It’s a magnetic LED lighting system that you install on the underside of your air drill or cultivator. It fits any piece of equipment and plugs in via a power harness that plugs into the 7-pin connector on your tractor.

Farmer-facing recommended changes to the Advance Payments Program have started to roll out this year with a different approach to credit checks.

Advance payment changes still mostly in waiting

APP cash advances for 2025 included a credit-worthiness change for farmers, but another three recommended updates for the federal farm lending program are still in limbo.

“When you’re running at night or you’re filling your drill at night and you’re wanting to do run checks, your lights will be on as soon as you turn your tractor lights on,” says Benson Pizzey, owner of Tri-Side Ag. “So you’re able to check your runs from the back of the drill without having to crawl underneath.”

Tri-Side Ag’s invention won a first place Innovation Award in the farm safety category at Manitoba Ag Days in January.
