65B at work

This sprayer is now set up with a GPS controlled 10 section auto boom control;
as the boom wanders into an area that has alredy been sprayed, the control
unit shuts down that part of the boom. On the first 700 acres sprayed, the
savings on material was right at 20%.....the savings add up in a hurry given the
$30 an acre solution that we are putting on right now.😛

.....and there is NO substitute for a good Cat where we have to spray.

how many miles away is Mt. Hood in that photo?

Great Pictures as usual, I'd guess you are top dressing the wheat. Most of the wheat in our country had that done in the last couple weeks. I finished last Saturday evening. We had a 60 to 80 percent chance of rain every day this week, which would have been ideal to carry the fertiliser into the ground. But the weatherman missed it and we have had no rain at all. Oh well, maybe next week.

Hey there side seat! Something like 40 miles as the crow flies. 😊

Yo Jim! Not exactly...in the first three pics we were applying a tank mix of
Clearmax & Barrage, with a combination of Coran & Solution 32 in the carrier....only get about 2lbs of N out of that deal....it's not intended as
a top dress, but is used to burn the wheat ( and the targert weeds) back a
little so that the Clearmax will work. The target weeds in this case are Goat
Grass, Cheat Grass & Rye ( for the Clearmax) and the Barrage should pick off
the broadleaf weeds. The fourth shot is one were we switched to Ally Extra
& Barrage to do a little bordering.....like along side this cherry orchard.
