Applying Fungicide to a Corn Field in Kentucky with a Hagie Sprayer

[@ScottPykare]

1.........the Hagie is an awesome sprayer.

[@markreetz1001]

Brings back memories of driving Dad's Hagie doing foliar feeding. Always did it in the evening. Had 50 ft boom on it. Start 5 or 6 o'clock spray till midnight or so or if there was a lot to spray I'd go until the dew settled. I foliar fed potatoes till 4 in the morning one time. Great aerial coverage!

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@DonWelter]

This rig is definitely an acre-eating beast. Our custom applicator used a Hagie to dribble 28% N on corn at the pre-tassel stage. Got 1.5 inches of rain that evening...really gave the corn a boost.

[@ndfields1]

Very neat thing to see indeed Mike!! Thumbs up, liked, and shared already. Thanks for the video

[@brianherold6207]

That looks so cool like it'd be a lot of fun a job worth having

[@farmhandhank153]

Thanks for the sprayer vidio. I don't get to see the sprayer at work because I'm on my way to get the tanker refilled for Jeff.

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Neat video Mike. Yeah the crop dusters have been flying everywhere here in north central Indiana

[@chrisgossman6512]

Fantastic coverage, a joy to watch. Happy subscriber 😊!

[@clarencedalrymple2566]

Mike, I enjoy the sprayer videos, especially applying # 0ne to corn with drone. Also enjoy chopping videos, field work, planting, working ground and harvesting. Thank You. God Bless.

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

1,Interesting sprayer...your right without the drone you would likely never see it.

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

3:57 cool shot of the sectional control!

[@SimonKL11]

Impressive sprayer👍👍 I'm for number '2'😉👍

[@gerardjohnson2106]

That has to be more efficient and cost effective than AirTractor. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrBusdriver63]

We say " 2 " in Australia.

[@DouglasHunt-cm4pl]

Next time you’re on the east coast come check out Delaware and eastern shore Maryland, lots of sizable farms, large equipment and variety of crops. Delaware has plenty of row crops as well as truck farming operations; sweet corn, green beans, Lima beans, watermelon, and during late spring you can catch the green pea harvests

[@Kingstanchannel]

Hello

[@franciscosandiego3026]

I like Mike less videos on KZbin from the imperial county California 👍🚜🚜😁

[@WewDewDew]

Love your content mike, we say 2 in Canada in most places, you should try getting up here for harvest.I bet you'd get some great videos of some huge nice fields in Alberta!

[@farmhandmike]

One of these years I will.

[@seanobrien7169]

Wow, that guy must not have had crop damage on! Amazing that corn does not get trampled by that sprayer.

[@bobsmith1814]

1, I personally like seeing spraying video.

[@stijnjilesen673]

I can see that in the tall corn the middle sektion of the boom is touching the top of the plants and the spraying nozzles have difficulties spraying it out to the sides. Does this have any effekt on the application? Otherwise great video. We see it also more and more that farmers here in europe apply fungicide. Greetings from Danmark

[@johnbonas8080]

2 It amazes me how little damage they do to the crop. Must be mesmerizing in the cab with all that corn coming at ya. I was talking to a corn guy this past week here in Ontario. He said they have found that fungicide in corn lays off 2 years out of 5. The other 3 years it costs more than the yield, and lowered disease benefits. I suppose it depends on the year, weather and humidity levels, maybe?

[@johnbonas8080]

*pays off*

[@farmhandmike]

Exactly some years it may not be necessary as seems like every growing season is different.

[@sharpshooter7127]

I've only known of it twice down here in Georgia to apply fungicide to corn once it tossles out

[@kevinkrempely2335]

Enjoy your vidios Mike! How tall is the corn? Does the Haggie damage the corn it drives over? How many acres between tank refills? Cool stuff!

[@jmburry1]

How affective do you think the spray application is when the top of the plant is smacking against the nozzles constantly in close to the sprayer? I would say it would not be a fine spray all over the leaves in that area? Secondly, how much deadly spray would end up all over the machine with the booms on the front? I can only imagine how much fun that thing would’ve be to work on or service

[@Stephenklausmeyer-hr9rb]

I believe that the pronunciation is number 1.

[@alrastapkevicius5408]

2 is the right way

[@AlbertaRanch]

Definitely 2.

[@thr8061]

I say "fun-ji-side" . Of course I say "gif" and not "jif". I have seen many Hagie's around spraying tall corn lately here in WI. We have had a few crop dusting aircraft & helicopters as well. I think the only other tall sprayer I've seen are the Miller. The John Deeres & CaseIH's just are not tall enough for this type of spraying.

[@joelg8004]

Does that boom auto level with the terrain or does the operator do it manually?

[@clarencehysell6792]

That boom might be high clearance but the body is not

[@geofflee8671]

Cornstar Farms have 2 of these Hagie sprayers so I've watched Cole and DC many times. I think spraying is Cole's favorite job on the farm

[@piperdoug428]

we had the front boom NH and i pronounce it like you would fungus (fun-gus-ide)

[@bobnistler]

😎😎

[@deplorablelibertarian]

I think people might have been skipping through, so they missed it...but I've heard it as 2.

[@edwardeggleston3612]

In Australia its 2.

[@Purington]

2 although I tend to hear most farmers say 1 so I use sometimes I say or think 1

[@scottkaercher1733]

They need to make sprayer's 3 foot taller.

[@duanestrickler6814]

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, Brits use 1 and Americans use 2.

[@SlipShodBob]

I'm British but use 2 but then I have always was an awkward sod. Though at least most USA place names sound like how they are written

[@freebooter247]

# 2 🇨🇦

[@clfhnt]

I'm in the 2 camp. This is a lot safer way to apply fungicide. aerial application is just too dangerous

[@stephenreimer9481]

2 in Canada

[@TheStogie0102]

2 in Australia

[@jordanlofthouse3500]

2 all the way. How do you say "fungus"? Sure sounds funny if you say fungus as a "1" lol😂

[@Dbergson]

1

[@Dirtfarmer-iq9el]

1,2

[@oldad6207]

[@smokum0]

[@jonash6070]
