Lee Co | I currrently use 100% NH3 in the spring w/o n-serve. in yield checks here, we find no benifit to the stabilizer. We use a 17 knife - 42' appplicator pulled by a 350 hp 4 wd tractor, in the area of 6.5 MPH and can cover in the area of 200 acres /day. we use a raven monitor to cotrol the rates and guidance to evenly cover the field. by pulling tanks on duel trailers we reduce the amount of time needed to switch tanks and even at a relitivly hi rate of N (240 units) have had very good luck with the system. We do see a drop in soil Ph with the rates of N and the corn on corn rotations but by 2-3 years between soil tests we can stay on top of the Ph issue. Many years ago the old farmers said the soils in this area never needed lime because the soils were full of "shells" and this kept the Ph up but over the years we have had to lime altho not to the amounts on lightere soils. As for saftey, you do need to respect it, and be cautious with the proper equipment but as for theft we don't make a practice of leaving full tanks around longer than needed. | |

Why do you choose to or not to use anhydrous?
