Friday, October 9th....about 4:45 pm PDT....1.5 hours before sunset.
Eric Odberg, Genesee, Idaho seeding winter wheat into continuous No-till following garbanzo beans. Check out the winter wheat and Garbanzo bean residue from years and years of No-till seeding....an ideal soil mulch.
You need more information. The Deere 1895 is 30 feet....with 20 inch bands and 10 inch rows. The Mid Row Banders are laying down Exactrix TAPPS. The application is Exactrix Legacy, 2KC Weigh Master and 2KP TAPPS formulator. The tongue mounted ammonia tank is 800 gallons and the tractor can pack up to 400 gallons on each side of APP/ATS. The weight on the tractor is a good idea...to push the load over the top of the steep Palouse hills. This balances the load and keeps the dog wagging the tail….rather than the tail wagging the dog as is often discovered with other single pass hillside set ups….big tractor…little drill….and as Mort always said, “Horsepower is cheap.” The seed delivery is Ag Pro....individual port metering. A very good metering system….and excellent for Garbanzo.
More Tractor than drill for a reason. The tractor is the 485 hp twin turbo Case Quad Track.....with plenty of reserve power to climb the steep Palouse hills....straight up and down on the AB line. The weight is up front to allow steep slope climbing. The tractor has 8,000 square inches of floatation. The application is VR site specific with 4 different rates or zones....and the map is included...
.the Red is 50 pounds N with APP/ATS constant......Red 50. .the Yellow is 80 pounds N with APP/ATS constant... Yellow 80 .the Green is 100 pounds N with APP/ATS constant......Green 100 the Blue is 120 pounds N with APP/ATS constant…….Blue 120 The tractor was able to hold the ground speed constant as we climbed the steep slopes....as we observed the zone changes based on the N rate. Dave Barton laid out the yield maps at North Star Guidance and came up with the application map you see. Back in time about 20 years ago.....these slopes were contour plowed and contour seeded to reduce erosion.....and back in the 60's they were plowed every second year. The plow ruined about 30% of the field acres…..since the hill tops are down to the clay layer….and yield about half of what they did after WW 2. The clay keeps creeping down the slopes if the tillage continues. And yet you still find the plow in service in the Palouse. The hilltops cannot store very much moisture so it is an exercise in futility to apply high inputs to low yielding areas in the field. Hauling back manure would not solve the problem….it is over….it is gone…. on 30% of the land, sadly I must report that my granddad had better soil. The bigger tractors and plow ruined it along with commercial fertilizer that masks the loss of production. Also take note of the application map….since most of Red 50 pound areas have no soil depth at the Clearwater canyon rim since volcanic basalt is located directly under the soil layer…..Very little water storage at the lower elevation Red zone….I would guess about 18 to 24 inches of soil depth at the field margin before the basalt….…low yield and less input required….a 60% savings in nutrient and good chance to actually increase yield by applying less. CRP is below the field margin for a reason….just below the Red Zone is where the lights go out….the party is over and the cultivated land is no longer CRP…the lower field is wild life habitat in Tier 3 CSP.
Another big discovery....is Eric now farms 9% fewer acres....and is able to do his bookwork in the tractor cab.....and keep tabs on the drill rather than the mark.
No more going around the hills....straight ahead…climbing up and over the top and down the slopes without a worry of erosion. The diesel engine compounding turbos making easy work of the No-till drill….and the tractor always holding the mark with no spin or slip. Established No-till farmers can expect powerful advantages with Exactrix Low 1%CV application and TAPPS formulation....which makes VR possible with Zone CV set at 5% to 10%.
No other farmland in the world deserves VR site specific more than the Palouse….highly variable soils with various abilities to store moisture….many little fields in one big field. Moisture is always limiting in the winter rainfall pattern. Moisture must be soil stored over the winter exactly where it falls. There is not much chance of rain from July 15 to November 1. The economic return is pretty hefty with this advanced technology….calculated at $100 more net margin per acre….and $60 to $80 less investment per acre as compared to the old fashioned systems. This is a lot of money for any producer….typically about 12% more net margin is achieved with Exactrix….with out the VR site specific credit and the auto steer credit applying straight ahead on the AB line.
The Nez Perce Indians befriended Corp of Discovery for a few weeks at Spaulding, just below Eric’s farm and nursed the 33 men back to health with a fresh Salmon and Steelhead diet….before they headed down the rest of the Clearwater River to the Snake River, joining the Columbia River and finally arriving at the mouth of the Columbia on the Pacific Ocean….The most western fort ever….Fort Clatsop, Oregon was the end of the line and over winter headquarters. Mountain man John Coulter left the return party at Bismarck in 1806 and he backtracked to the west. He later discovered Yellowstone country, about 300 miles to the east of Eric’s farm. The well documented presidential survey of the western passage was the historical equivalent of going to the moon.
One more good reason to No-till farm the steep 50% volcanic soil slopes is high quality soil results with cleaner water…..The No-till system and Exactrix nutrient placement makes for really good fishing with clean rivers for spawning fish…..clean water results with low nitrate and phosphate levels with minimum inputs on the land. Salmon species such as Sockeye appear to be coming back based on several factors. The Sockeye swim up to 800 miles from the mouth of the Columbia to the top of Idaho at Redfish lake in Sawtooth range. We need just a few more young farmers just like Eric. Guy

Exactrix Test Plot Data Confirms Nutrient Efficiency |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| For the first time in the history of the Kramer Seed Farm the land has been fertilized exact. The streaming band width is exactly the same. Each band is identical within 1%. Every acre band is applied within 1%. The applied field rate is within 30 lbs. on 10,000 lbs. applied irregardless of temperature. The bands are not defused. The soil micro flora has difficulty accessing the uniform tight bands. The soil micro flora reject the bands as distasteful due to the acid base reaction. One of the secrets... streaming liquid flow with a standard band width that is non-diffused. |

Typical 10% yield increases proven time after time in
variable pH and variable OM soils. Reduced use of N, P and S…Up to ½ the amount required
compared to dry urea and dry P and S. Chemical reaction Formed at 800*F by super-ammoniation only with liquid
NH3 mixing APP and ATS. Acid base reaction. Band uniformity An all weather friend in liquid, low CV application at 1% variance. Dry fertilizer is not competitive. Lineal uniformity Physical state-liquid state, high pressure at the injection point. Unique to Exactrix…with process control, timed shut down, no freezing lines and assured mixing.
The reaction is at 800 degrees F as the NH3 becomes NH4
and forms  A continuous streaming flow with no irregular band concentration allows the plant roots to access the nutrients without root pruning or burning. The homogenous blend polymer is crystallized in an acid based reaction. Uniformity and reaction result in 166% more crop available nutrient. |
 Each port outlet is within 1% CV allowing each corn row to feed evenly.

Technical Discussion, Tri-Ammonium Poly Phosphate Sulfate, TAPPS. 1. Can not be purchased….TAPPS is manufactured
dynamically with an Exactrix Mid-Tech process control system. 2. The most plant available form of placed N, P, S and
Zn. 3. Super ammoniation of a balanced nutrient package.
Produces a hair root target 100 times greater diameter than a single
product application of Ammonium Poly Phosphate, 10-34-0, 11-37-0, and
ATS, 12-0-0-26S. 4. The crystals of TAPPS chemically reduces the ability
of soil calcium to tie up or sequester placed P. Crystalline TAPPS
remains available for future crops without tillage. Rotational Band
Loading reduces P requirement. 5. Ammonium Poly Phosphate is required. Ammonium Thio-Sulfate
is required. NH3 is required. The three materials must mix and formulate
with two intersecting streaming flow columns. The crystals must be
formed. 6. Typically formulated as a 60-15-0-7S-1Zn. The three
materials can be variable rate applied. N, P and S rates can be adjusted
to match soil pH, soil available P and soil mobile SO4. Zn ratio is no
less the 18 to 1 in relation to P. 7. Known for 40 years to be the best method for
fertilizing wheat and corn….and now it is practical. 8. Shifts the applied band pH to 8 to 8.5 allowing micro
nutrients to become more available as band pH shifts in time from above
7 to below 7. Reduces the chances of hydrogen being stored in the soil.
The plant can pull hydrogen directly. If timed properly the plant can
directly pull NH4 from the crystals of TAPPS. Thus reduced soil
acidification potential. TAPPS delays the conversion to mobile nitrate. 9. Ammonium Thio-Sulfate or ATS is a nitrification inhibitor…and a plant nutrient. The cost to stabilize the band and reduce leaching is about half of other methods. ATS is listed as a plant nutrient and a nitrification inhibitor... NRCS approved. 10. Chevron Chemical, Ortho Division came close with the Unipel design…but no super-ammoniation and no pH shift, plus the sinusoidal flow of a dry prill when banded and high CV application port to port of dry fertilizer. 11. Exactrix test plots confirm that yield curves come up early and fast at low rates and then drop backwards when TAPPS is over-applied. See Exactrix Test Plot Summary. Yield limits are often related to other factors e.g. compaction, moisture infiltration, heat index at pollination. 12. TAPPS was pioneered at WSU, MSU, KSU and UNL….but never brought to a true state of perfection until recently at Exactrix with the help of the Fluid Fertilizer Foundation and Dr. Larry Murphy. |

THIO-SUL® THIO-SUL® 12-0-0+26S, (ammonium thiosulfate). THIO-SUL® is the original nitrogen-sulfur plant nutrient solution instrumental in unlocking the full potential of your fertility program. THIO-SUL® is a clear liquid containing 12% nitrogen (N) and 26% sulfur (S). THIO-SUL® is compatible with N solutions and complete (N-P-K) liquid blends, which are neutral to slightly acid in reaction. In addition to its wide adaptability for use in clear liquid blends, it is also well suited for use in suspensions. THIO-SUL® aids in increasing crop yields and stretching your fertilizer dollars by improving and stabilizing the Nitrogen-Sulfur ratio. It helps in maintaining necessary sulfur levels in soils that are sulfur deficient. THIO-SUL® helps solubilize and aids in plant assimilation of other essential plant nutrients such as phosphorus and increases plant utilization of several micronutrients, i.e., zinc, manganese, iron and copper. Thiosulfate as a Sulfur Source. The advantage of thiosulfate, in comparison to other sulfur forms, is that the sulfur needed for plant growth becomes available over several weeks. Thiosulfate helps supply the plant’s sulfur needs quicker than other sulfur forms.
