I certainly don’t have it figured out but I was pretty disappointed with my chopper application. Even the odd shaped fields that did get aerial app I apparently paid 10-20% too much. What’s a guy to do? My ground rig on the square fields looks great.
I’m disappointed also with helicopter application and control. In their defense, I do have some borders with power lines in the ditches - but the 40-60 ft “set back” on the end rows amounts to big acres as a whole and those “untreated” serve as the fungal incubators to reinfect the treated acres. Like a daycare during flu, cough, cold, runny nose season…..
And, you pay for the field acres from both an app and product perspective….. so, someone ends up with “free product” in the end.
Don’t get me started on airplane seeding of covercrops…. What a cluster! |
