southwest Iowa | Going to get my dry fertilizer delivered in hopper loads and spread it my self. How do most of you handle the fertilizer? Last fall we rented three spreaders and when the loads came in we used an old truck auger with a tired gas motor to fill the three carts and then put the balance on my hopper trailer. That worked ok but map and potash came from two different places, so two separate loads and no real way to blend it, so we covered the ground twice, that worked but was pretty inefficient and caused extra compaction. So this year I will be spreading 150lbs of map, 50lbs of elemental sulfur and a little boron and zinc. Any suggestions on how to blend it so I only have to cover the ground once. I have one hopper trailer and 3 older 300 bushel gravity wagons. Which would be less corrosive on the wagons? The map or the sulfur? Have a couple grain carts but don't think I want to put fertilizer in them. | |
