i WILL GET A PIC

First off, I just don't care for using my tractor for spraying anymore. I have a cab on my Ranger and not on my tractor. Secondly, I expected better support for a spreader at this price point. Cannot use with my quick hitch, 3 broken fittings due to routing/location of unions, the unit just...

So I bought a Sprayer Specialties 3-point. Don't care for it and not a SS fan after this experience. Going to sell it and buy a good UTV unit. Torn between an F/S and a Superior. That aside, what's everyone's experience with booms? I am sick of fighting booms, kinked hoses after storage, turn...

I really want to add a fertilizer tank. Maybe next year...

To run the compressor. Bought with airbags to add down pressure for no-till. Since my battery is behind the front grill, I dont feel like running wire all the way through my tractor for just a few hours a year.

Thank's Skip. Corn is done and beans would be but I ran out of seed last night. Will be done tomorrow! Earliest I've ever had them both done. One of my best investments; bought it with my crazy uncle Joe PPP money...

I am taking the seed bags to my local Nutrien guy and have him mix me up a cocktail this week...I have a buddy that's a farmer so I squeeze in under his license for any license needs. I have airbags on my planter so I go all no till for beans and corn. I was able to get everything burned off...

Anyone who took ag classes up until the 90's was preached to about soil health and erosion control. Something happened after that and now it is not even discussed openly anymore. Strange what PR and money can do...add in unqualified elected officials and we have the perfect storm of ignorance.

When do you hit your pre-emerge? Right after planting or before?

Thank you Skip. Will do it this weekend... On another note, I have been watching Ag Phd for a while now and they have some great content. They have been hitting on organic matter quite a bit this past year. They claim in order to build organic matter you have to keep tillage to minimum. Every...

2024 soil test. I did hit it hard with nutrients last year and ended up not planting anything.

looking for some corn and bean seed to plant for plots this year. Up until now I have begged and bought what ever I could from farmers but looking to do something more directed at plot grains. Anyone recommend a good fit that is readily accessible? I pretty much have to be able to spray for weed...

I couldn't believe what I was reading...what a puke...Defending criminals

I was reading some of the posts on FB from a little feller defending these guys, it was comedy gold.

Agree. The problem is they never look for efficiency only..."give me more!"
