Dalton, OH | I put 10 gal of 28% down at planting and side-dress the rest. Up until now, I have been using a Kinze cultivator to side-dress with. The problem I'm running into is a time factor. With the amount of hay I make, its hard to get it all done in a timely manner. I'm looking at a few different options. One of the fastest I can see is to dribble it on with a sprayer. I would put Agrotain or another N stabilizer with the 28% and go. Nice part here would be I could use my sprayer to do this job and would not need any additional equipment, unless I wanted to upgrade my sprayer. Another option would be a coulter machine that injects the 28% behind the coulter. I've used a DMI made one of these a few times to bail me out when it looks like I'm not going to get done and they work fine. I can make pretty good time as I can drive 8-10 mph with it. Slower than the sprayer, but much faster than the cultivator. What's everybody's thoughts? Am I going to loose all of my N here in Ohio dribbling it on? This is the way I am currently leaning, but I want to here any of your expierences with this. Thanks, |
