Wow!!! That would be a great addition to the farm. Yeah, I know your finances won't right now, but that looks like the thing you guys could use to speed up your fall work considerably. But maybe sometime in the future, you can get one. Thanks Andrew for showing us the machine....

thanks all for showing us and explaining it to us

Hey Travis, Take cary, Take it easy and Trust JESUS!

Thanks for the video Travis

Nice video. Great work have a wonderful day 👍 👍 👍

Good and informative video as usual. Hope you will get better and better yields in the years to come.

Of all the additional equipment considerations that been mulled over between the two channels,,, I'd say this is in the top three,,, in my mind at least. Very interesting video. Thank you to yourself and Andrew.

Usually better off to just rent the bar from the fertilizer dealer. That's pretty much standard practice in our part of the world. It's an additional expense and expensive to keep up and not used very much, so ties up a lot of capital and doesn't bring a lot to the table compared to just renting it, except perhaps for timeliness (not having to wait for a bar to be available or someone else to finish with it). Later! OL J R :)

Used to be a lot of anhydrous around here before...a few guys still do it around here...the big deal here now is liquid nitrogen applied while planting at the same time.

We've been using anhydrous since the 70s put it on in the fall and have put it on after the corns been up it does the job

We've done many side by side 28%an NH3 we've seen be results with NH3. Just always by aware an treat with lots of respect

Great video Travis

kinda creepy with that creeper in the background!!! lol

good work on the outro. like the music

Andrew the man with the plan sounds good plant as soon as you can makes sense.

interesting video, thx

That's a nice bar, compared to my grandpa's old homade one (that we don't use anymore)

We just got one of these at Nutrien Ag Solutions in Bloomfield

this Andrew is helping out on everything for How Farms work. is he an export.

So is that bar designed to sidedress with as well? And by 28% do u mean liquid nitrogen or urea?

Travis have you guys seen it pay off better in the heavier soils or lighter ?

We have a 12 version, great bars

@ 9:30, Rocket is trying to steal the show. LOL.

I put all my nitrogen down in fall with my 53' air drill. Phos in spring with the seed. Most people have gone away from nh3 in my area of Sk

I have seen it happen to our soil by using anhydrous. We use nitrisphere with our 32 percent. Which is just like the n serve he was talking about!

Will Ryan have a similar video of anhydrous coming soon?

That's a nice-looking piece of equipment, and not just because it matches your tractors' color scheme. By way of comparison, how fast were you going when applying NH3 the last two years?

is that a farmers hitch he's towing with?

👍

calvin stealing the show lol

Wait did Andrew say one bar I think I heard did he mean 1 of those or he mean 1 row lol

Neighbor and good friend of ours had a bad accident last fall/early this spring. He went to bleed a hose and it exploded. He’s about 6’11 and if he wouldn’t have been so y’all it would’ve blew in his face. Dangerous stuff. We’ve decided it’s not worth the risk to do it ourselves anyway

Yeah my Dad had a similar accident when I was a little kid... the local fertilizer suppliers used to rent machines that had an anhydrous tank to apply the nitrogen and a liquid tank behind it mounted cross-wise on a trailer with a knife bar in the back-- apply all the N, P, and K at once-- N as anhydrous, P and K in the liquid form, two tubes welded to the back of the knives-- one for anhydrous, one for the liquid. Anyway, he had a hose blow on him and got gassed pretty good-- not serious but he was sick for a few days. After that we just knifed in regular liquid ammonia with the P and K in a liquid fertilizer premix. I did dry a few years because we had an old John Deere dry fertilizer machine of our own that could knife dry fertilizer into the beds, but dry is a PITA unless you have an auger and gravity wagon to refill the machine-- dumping 15-20 fifty pound bags of fertilizer into the machine every 2 rounds gets real old real fast! Liquid is SO handy-- just hook up a hose, turn a couple valves, start a gas-engine pump, and transfer it over. Easy-peasy... Main reason guys use anhydrous around here is due to the cost-- it's the cheapest form of nitrogen around here, and it adds up, particularly on high-nitrogen requiring crops like corn and grain sorghum. Later! OL J R :)

What breed is Calvin and rocket

Good morning. Someone help me out. You apply it. Then sometime during winter it warms up. We've all seen this. Would the Anhydrous activate prematurely? Just wondering. Thanks.

It's not so much it "activates"-- anhydrous is just pure ammonia without any water in it. Because it has no water in it, it is strongly hydroscopic, meaning it's strongly attracted to water-- that's why if you are exposed to it it's so dangerous, because it dissolves in the moisture in your eyes, nose, mouth, and lungs and essentially turns into "aqueous ammonia" like what you have in your household cleaners, which is ammonia dissolved in water. When it's injected into the soil, the liquid expands (boils) rapidly into a gas, and the gas is strongly attracted to the moisture in the soil and dissolves very quickly into the moisture in the soil, forming aqueous ammonia. The problem is, ALL forms of nitrogen, to some degree or other, are food for bacteria in the soil, and can be transformed into forms of nitrogen not usable by plants for food by soil chemical reactions, ie "denitrification", which turns nitrates into nitrites or breaks down the ammonia or nitrates into nitrogen gas which then escapes into the atmosphere. Remember the air is 78% nitrogen, but plants cannot use the pure form of nitrogen-- it must be in the form of nitrates. Nitrites, if memory serves, are immobile or unusable by plants. The colder the temperatures, the less microbial activity you have in the soil, and most chemical reactions are greatly slowed by cold temperatures as well, leading to the ammonia being "stable" in the soil and capable of being stored for longer periods without excessive loss. When things warm up though, microbial activity in the soil increases rapidly, and chemical reactions (weathering) of the ammonia can begin to take place at a more rapid rate, leading to denitrification. Stabilizers, like N-Serve, help to slow these processes that break down the nitrogen fertilizer and allow it to escape. That's why fall-applied anhydrous works well in the northern corn belt, but isn't a viable practice down here in the South. In fact, we split apply our fertilizers since our soil never freezes and the soil temps stay quite warm, relatively speaking (compared to areas much further north) and thus denitrification is a bigger issue, so applying the fertilizers as close to planting time as possible, or in-season using side-dressing applications, is the best practices in our area down here... To most directly answer your question, YES it's best to apply the anhydrous when the soil is cold and will REMAIN COLD (hopefully) until planting time. Warm weather spells can lead to higher losses. Nitrogen stabilizers add cost but play an important role in reducing nitrogen losses in the event of wet or warm weather. Later! OL J R :)

We do Nitrogen every year in north Missouri (6 row still even). I thought that was just how you do it. Do it, 200 is normal now. (we do terraces and such) We don't own a bar though. Just not big enough. Owning a bar is not a good idea. I don't care who you are. (if you know a guy that's a different story)

Bahahaha the rest if how farms works!

how many horse to pull that bar?
