Loran,

It is interesting to see how we seem to be heading in similar directions (fertilizer on beans) in different areas.

Thanks for the pictures. I am concerned that the pipe and tee are going to snag material that occasionally gets in there. You may want to lean/sweep the tube back a bit so it sheds material and is a tee really necessary? I guess it depends on how much you want to put down, but maybe you could just put it on one side?

It may be ok as you have it, especially running our row cleaners in front, but something to keep in mind. Never hurts to have a plan.

Later edit:

The more I think about it the more I like the idea of splitting the flow as you show. Even at low rates this will reduce the amount of fert in front of each Curvetine and probably increase the amount of fertilizer which is fully incorporated by the Curvetine rather than on the surface. Like every year in this business, it is going to be an exciting spring! Thanks for the pictures.
