What new product or products do you plan to use on your farm this spring?
Three farmers from Kansas, Pennsylvania and Tennessee tip their hands on spring planting
“We’ve been using our own products on the farm, and we’ll keep using our products on the farm. We’ve been using biodiesel for about eight years and biogrease the last three years. It’s the best way to be sustainable.”
~Charles Atkinson, Kansas soybean and sorghum farmer
“For corn and soybeans, we’ve just gotten into precision fertilizer applications. For corn, we intend to apply nitrogen using remote sensing during nitrogen sidedressing. This method reads the plant color to adjust nitrogen flow rates while crossing the field.”
~Doug Bowersox, Pennsylvania soybean and corn farmer
“The one new product that I know I will use on my farm this spring is AVAIL. We’ll use it to treat our phosphate fertilizer. I tried AVAIL last year on my corn and wheat on side-by-side acres, and it impressed me enough to use on all of my corn and wheat acreage this year.”
~Richard Jameson, Tennessee soybean, corn, cotton and wheat farmer
