Exapta Products

Exapta Solutions was created by farmers and agronomists to fulfill a need for better seeding technology and methods. Our products and educational efforts are brought to you by the people who live in your industry every day. Exapta relies on the necessity-driven innovation of many farmers and researchers to find solutions for high-performance planting and production. To this day, Exapta’s forte is understanding how plants grow, and how the no-till seed-installation process can be more effectively accomplished. We strive not to sell you some device, but to provide useful information to help you get the most from your seeding equipment—more acres, better emergence, higher yield, and greater profit. Once armed with knowledge, we hope you will see the value and wisdom of our products. We provide quality aftermarket no-till equipment and parts for John DeerKinzeCase-IHNew Holland and AGCO.
