After 30 years of practice...inching up the yield barrier each year since starting with Exactrix seven years ago hitting the 250 bushel per acre mark.....getting better and better with the Exactrix product each year.....and learning the techniques of Exactrix TAPPS, and TAPPKTS side dressing corn.....In 2012 a big change....Steve parked the Bourgault MRB openers and installed Mustang P-51C....The Mustangs have a 15 inch band width and a banding capability to the 9 inch depth.

TAPPS and TAPPKTS with Humic Acid....With a total of $150 per acre in fertilizer cost.....to up the return to $2,200 per acre gross. 6.8% or the gross income for fertilizer....

Steve's technical advantage in the neighborhood was at least 70 bushels per acre on the this pivot....with at least $200 per acre in fertilizer savings in sizzling 115 degree F heat with 50 mph winds at Yuma, Colorado.
