Last month at the National Farm Machinery Show, Bourgault Industries introduced its latest offering to the seeding and planting market: the XP Duo Meter. The latest development from the Saskatchewan-based ag equipment brand uses one meter housing to control seed to two individual rows (though operators can deliver to just one row if they choose).
Bourgault says the new design reduces complexity and cost by essentially cutting the number of meters and all their related attachments needed to operate them in half.

CNH plans for “more than 15 new tractor launches, 10 combine launches, 19 crop production launches and over 30 precision technology releases between now and the end of 2027.”
“What makes this really neat is that this wasn’t just done for one crop,” says Colin Rush, North American Sales and Marketing Leader for Bourgault. “We did a lot of work with soybeans, canola, sunflowers … this is actually a quad plate where we can do essentially four rows of soybeans where two go down one row and two go down the other row.”
The XP Duo Meter units are available for Bourgault’s 3820 coulter drill platforms and 30 to 40-foot frame-mounted seeding systems and can be ordered now for the spring 2025 planting season.
