Precision Placement of Anhydrous Ammonia

Sure, anhydrous ammonia is an economical way to deliver N to your fields, especially as a foundation in the fall. But traditional methods involving heat exchangers and cold flow deliver some drawbacks and limitations, too. At Proving Grounds, we introduced 360 EQUI-FLOW, the latest addition to the 360 Yield Center toolbox, which provides better row-to-row…

Take Care with Soil Sample Handling

Knowing how much nitrogen is in your soil can help you make more accurate decisions for nitrogen application. But, the accuracy of those results is important. One large driver of soil nitrate testing accuracy is the quality of the soil sample and the handling of that sample through testing. Soil nitrates are highly dependent on…
