Floater Spring Application as Dry Fertilizer, Vs. Single Disc, Exactrix Liquid TAPPS as NH3 Fall Banded. 

Fisher, Minnesota, Grand Forks area. Rotation of Sugar Beet, Corn, Soybean, Edible Bean, Hard Red Spring Wheat, Brewing Barley and Potatoes. 

Comparison of top dressed spring application of dry nutrients on the left to Exactrix Fall Banded TAPPS on the right.  

Lodging of spring wheat typically produces yield reductions of 20% to 30% and a reduction in protein. 

Exactrix 1% CV Uniformity of the Application along with Thio-sul®, ATS nitrogen stabilization results in highly crop available nutrients. 

Standing DNSW assures a smooth harvest operation with the following rotation crop having the advantage of even moisture and nutrient distribution.

Yields of 80 bushel average and 14% protein were achieved in 2014.  Mayville Dark Northern Spring Wheat is shown in the Exactrix application following soybeans.
The 2014 year was difficult for most producers to make protein in the wheat.  In 2014 there was a $2.00 and $3.00 per bushel advantage when protein was 14% to 15%.
Today protein wheat at 14% is worth about $4.44 locally and about 85 cents higher at 15%. 

Sugar Beets produce high quality when Exactrix TAPPS is applied in the Fall or Spring.  Balanced TAPPS crystals supply ammonic nitrogen in the root zone.
Liquid streaming flows of nutrients in highly crop available bands assure the best production yields and quality as compared to dry fertilizer application.
Liquid streaming flows of NH3 and APP/ATS are created at pressures from 80 to 300 psi at high ground speeds with lowest cost.
Typically a $60 to $120 per acre advantage in the Red River Valley.

 
High quality sugar beets require uniform nitrogen application TAPPS.  Over application of nitrogen is a problem since more molasses than marketable sugar is generated with poor N management.
Exactrix TAPPS assures a high quality sugar beet crop.  Site Specific Variable Rate applications are made with Exactrix. 

North Dakota, Sugar Beets at both ends of the state. Crystal Sugar at Hillsboro, ND.
Crystal Sugar has for many years advocated VR-Site Specific application in sugar beets using Sat Shot maps and soil sampling.

Fall banding is utilized for corn production. Similar rates are used for corn or DNSW as the acres for each crop is increased or decreased.
In 2015 corn production was sidelined in favor of higher value crops such as edible beans. Corn acres were diverted to DNSW. 

Soybean production can also be improved with VR-Site Specific applications.  Soygreen is used to combat Iron Chlorosis in the high pH soils of the Red River Valley of the North.
Applications of Soygreen can be made with the planter or the Exactrix Tool bar using the 2KR system.

Two passes with the planter on the field margin shows the response to Soygreen in this test plot. 

Iron Chlorosis is also a problem in Milo production in high pH soils of western Kansas.
Maps from Sat Shot can identify problem areas as shown. One of the best indicators and map makers is the visual problem from the field using satellite maps.  
Soygreen is typically in row at 3 lbs. per acre at $24.00  application cost so the acres can be selected out with planter control or with the 2KR 3rd product injection into the TAPPS formulator.
Planters are effective in row.

It is critical to have a strong agricultural industry to survive the terrible wars of the Middle East and tension of Ukraine and Russia. The NATO alliance may need to look to cheaper oil and higher quality food to survive the intimidating arsenal of Russia. It is now known that much of Syria’s problems are due to years of drought/climate change and the loss 1.2 million farmers moving to the cities. People are starving with little hope for a family to survive. A strong agricultural base is required to build a strong country.

Final Note of the Enterprise and the Endeavor.

The American Dust Bowl of the 1930’s resulted from incorrect University information and railroad land promotion. A natural and man-made combination of events that destroyed lives and the land. Eventually all the people that remained rebuilt a sustainable agricultural base. A lack of agricultural stability in a changing climate can produce financial stress and heartache. Keeping the agricultural base strong is mandatory.

166% more crop available N and 200% more crop available P…..Why does it work so well.

$60 to $90 per acre more net income in irrigated corn production in 2015.
