Broadcasting Fertilizer with GPS

[@lorenkindschy7153]

I love how spreading fertilizer can dry up the forecast. Spread mine last night. No rain yet.

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

Oooo!!!! Fun, fun, fun!!!! Spreading fertilizer on hay ground. Always a fun time!!! Thanks for taking us along, Ryan.....

[@eddeetz493]

That 3rd cutting is going to blow up in tonnage. I hope the rain arrived as needed. Great upload.

[@dsmreloader7552]

No waste, no missed spots.. Max efficient use of materials!

[@tropicalstorm2030]

Great video love the quality of them and i love how you show the hard work and dedication it takes to run a farm

[@stevemondal.]

Thank you Ryan, really enjoy your drone shots that give better perspective to your family farms.

[@stephangermishuizen1113]

These longer videos are much better

[@davidvincent3010]

That GPS unit sure helps, alot more efficient. Now with some moisture that hay should come along pretty fast !

[@karlbrohammer9105]

Nice presentation using GPS for spreader application.

[@ihus9950]

Hope you share a follow up video of the field's in a few weeks to a month so we can see how well it helped, hope you get some lite soaker rain! 👍

[@matthewogden8657]

One of my jobs at the co-op is blending fertilizer and filling carts. You always have to give things a check. Fertilizer is hard on them. We have some old ones the the drive wheel can drag if not careful. Most customers put triple 18 on hay. I do have one the puts boron in and ammonium sulfate.

[@bostonschulte7210]

Love the videos keep it up. That gps unit is nice and is nice for spreding the fertalizer.

[@TwoFarmBoys]

Nice video Ryan! The montage was awesome!

[@MegaKokse]

Your videos is amazing! It’s nice to see! Good luck to your farm men! Greetings from Lithuania!

[@chriscrosby8012]

Enjoyable to watch!! Always like when u introduce new equip to us ! Nice job Andrew!! Thanks😄🚜

[@Danny-zg5mw]

All of your guys videos are great

[@rongrose3746]

GPS is a great thing !!

[@marialynn381]

That's cool, how you use GPS to fertilize! Good video!

[@sashcraft51]

So much to learn. Good intern story.

[@clydedupree3020]

I watch your videos all the time

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks for watching!

[@ohiodairyfarming6382]

If you sped up your rpms could you spread the fertilizer farther than 50ft? Thanks so much for the video, I can’t wait to see the next one.

[@lukestrawwalker]

Maybe a little but it will only fly *so* far, plus the wider the width, then you mess up your rates-- you have to increase the gate opening to compensate, plus the spread pattern becomes inconsistent... it really depends on the spreader where the 'sweet spot' is between spread width and consistent rate/speed/spread pattern width... Later! OL J R :)

[@carterk116]

I made the mistake of not turning the pto on this year, luckily I always glance back to make sure I'm actually spreading so I caught my mistake. My only excuse is it was 5:30 in the morning...

[@HowFarmsWork]

Hopefully you caught it in time!

[@gagep3425]

Are your cows corn and grass fed

[@jacobsimpson3901]

Nice video Ryan

Thanks for sharing Ryan..

[@FaPlaatsman]

Nice video Ryan 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Gator-12]

Fertilizer rules! Will make more bales!

[@treytonzoss1853]

Another great video!

[@westfarming2444]

Nice job I REALLY like it

[@virgilbaxter4571]

great vidoe of how thw sperader work

[@SlipShodBob]

Great video have thought of looking at the bredal (trailed) spreaders when we replace our 3pt one in the future so we could carry more without having to resort to buying another bigger tractor

[@peterdusenbury1661]

Ryan i enjoy the video thank you have good day

[@handrestoffberg2945]

Great work. Love how you guys farm.

[@AlextheDutchDairyfarmer]

Nice video. Am I correct when I say that you rent the spreader?

[@jeffgixer5185]

Alex the Dutch Dairyfarmer the spreader is provided by the Agronomy company that the fertilizer comes from.

[@AlextheDutchDairyfarmer]

Jeff Gixer Thanks! 👍

[@clinthochrein888]

Wow! Great system!

[@williamwiegert9592]

Love the 7600 videos!!!!!!!

[@Gator-12]

That Andrew is a pretty handy fellow. He helps you guys a lot! But it costs you money! Lol

[@lukestrawwalker]

Yes, but a *GOOD* agronomist will *make* you more money than they cost... so long as they do they're a *good* investment! Later! OL J R :)

[@bemadmf9497]

Good job keep up with the good work

[@shanezimmerman5384]

Great video Ryan your the best KZbinr ever

[@afroman77825]

Shane Zimmerman *you're lol jk I agree with you he is a great KZbinr 😂

[@Jesse1393]

Thanks for your videos and common knowledge things for you, but as a beginner it’s years of trial and error and cuts down on things we are aware of now

[@peteraernouts5741]

we where spreading fertilizer every time we did a cut of silage even after we put liquid manure on it.

[@peterjames2004]

did you say boron was in that fertiliser

[@lukestrawwalker]

Yep... boron is an essential micronutrient that *most* soils in the US is lacking... Later! OL J R :)

[@DK-qc4dd]

What brand of monitor and GPS globe is that? Where could I find information on it?

[@lukestrawwalker]

Wonder how it compares to Trimble EZ-Guide 250... what I've run for the BIL and I really like it... modes and the "paint" part of the field look the same, guess they all are to an extent. I'd love to get a GPS system to use on our farms... we could spray our own pastures instead of hiring it done, and it'd be handy to guide us when we're spot-spraying brush and cactus in the UTV in the pasture, so we could run a specific "grid pattern" at even intervals rather than "by eye"... and of course, spreading fertilizer or seed as well... Later! OL J R :)

[@chevyman2482]

Hey Ryan. With the tariffs being put in place on soybeans do you expect to feel the impact from them this fall or are you currently feeling the impacts now

[@HowFarmsWork]

It’ll definitely hurt in the fall. Luckily I already contracted most of my soybeans

[@chevyman2482]

How Farms Work definitely a smart move on y'alls part. Hopefully these tariffs are removed. Thanks for replying to me

[@oldjdfarmer8073]

Nice video

[@MatthewHoag77]

I'm guessing this was something you needed to do because you didn't have the option of spreading manure on the hay ground. An obvious advantage of broadcasting fertilizer over manure is the option to tailor the mixture to the needs of the ground, whereas with manure that's not possible. GPS just takes it one more step toward optimizing efficiency. Thanks for the video, Ryan!

[@jeffgixer5185]

Matthew Hoag spreading manure on hay ground isn't always the best use of nutrients because hay doesn't need the nitrogen. That's why they are just spreading the Potash (potassium) with micro nutrients which is what the hay needs.

[@MatthewHoag77]

I get that, Jeff. Thanks.

[@jeffgixer5185]

Matthew Hoag that and you don't want to spread pen pack on hay ground, it's just usually done with liquid slurry.

[@MatthewHoag77]

Of course, because you don't want to kill the plants. I remember when they were spreading last summer and going fast to make sure it was spread lightly. There's only so much control one can have on the manure spread pattern.

[@jeffgixer5185]

Matthew Hoag correct and they were spreading that in a pasture that I am not even sure they cut for hay. You don't want to be baling up old clumps of manure.

[@TheFarmingLife]

Thanks for the video great footage. Do you guys pull soil samples on the ground before you put on the fertilizer. Do they recommend applying it again this fall for next year have a great evening

[@rageO]

Love your videos and your content

[@farmingyear3972]

Hi nice video good

[@Brian.N]

Great video

[@lukestrawwalker]

Interesting about the fertilizer getting spun out on the road... Not that it would really do any harm (well no more than road salt does after a rain when the fertilizer would dissolve and get sprayed up under people's cars by the tires, until it all dissolved and ran off in the roadside grass which would then use it and get lush and green... good for road hay, if anyone cuts roadside hay in yalls part of the world). Anyway, it's funny because the dry spreaders our local ag supplies "rent" with the fertilizer have "lockout levers" on them for transport... basically a long lever lifts the friction drive tire up and out of the way, and shoves a spring-loaded "pawl" up against the driven sprocket, to "lock" it from turning... When you get to the farm and hitch up to the tractor, you flip the lever back, which then pulls the lock pawl back with it from the driven sprocket, and lowers the wheel down onto the hydraulic cylinder lift arm (for hydraulically controlled spreaders) or directly down onto the transport tire of the spreader (for "full time drive" spreaders typically used in pastures, which spread whenever the thing is being pulled forward-- you have to manually pull the lever out between pastures to stop it from spreading... these also typically have the fans (spreader disks) turned by belts or gearboxes running off the ground drive as well, instead of the PTO driven fans on most "field spreaders" (typically used to spread dry fertilizer on farm fields for crops). I know the GPS is a nice touch, just for the lightbar guidance... makes a HUGE difference in the accuracy of your application, without overlapping or skipping too much like is prone with the old "mark one eyeball" method, particularly on a 50 foot swath width... Later! OL J R :)

[@handrestoffberg2945]

I am asking this again. What would you have done differently if you guys still had all off grandpa's equipment?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Probably not much different

[@buckhorncortez]

Why does it matter? The equipment they work with is what they have available. I never understand "what if" questions as they have absolutely no point, aren't related to reality, and are totally hypothetical - what's the point? What if they won the lottery? What if there was a tornado? What if it never rains again? What if it snows in July? What if you ask relevent questions?

[@handrestoffberg2945]

Buckhorn Cortez It was just a question

[@HowFarmsWork]

I think it’s to help people to understand our line of thinking. It doesn’t really hurt to ask, and is a good question though I don’t think things would be much different. We’d just have a bunch more different tractors on the farm.

[@handrestoffberg2945]

Buckhorn Cortez It was just a question

[@Dale.Nienow]

Technology these days, but at least it is helping farmers!

[@sandervanvliet4349]

this would be a great job for the t7 wouldnt it ;)

[@lucatorchio4665]

sjandie just a liiiiitle bit overkill, didn't it?

[@sandervanvliet4349]

overkill is underrated

[@lucatorchio4665]

sjandie sure, so why stopping at t7 when you could use a quadtrac? Lol!

[@sandervanvliet4349]

of course, why not lol

[@Texaspanhandlefarmer]

No urea? Sure pulled a lot of nitrogen from the ground when you baled that hay

[@HowFarmsWork]

You almost never need to put nitrogen on Alfalfa as it is a legume that fixates nitrogen, moreso than even soybeans.

[@ryanworkman2577]

Hi

[@ignasanchezl]

I don't know, but all I see is Amazone spreaders are fully hydraulic and have automatic weighing systems, which can be easily calibrating by knowing the average density and pellet size of the fertilizer, and later the spreading discs are set to whatever speed and can even vary with GPS section control (and variable rates) so you can stay on your tramlines and fertilize accordingly. Really have no idea, but your spreader sounds like trash.

[@codyplambeck3941]

Heard you won’t pin this

[@HowFarmsWork]

Can’t pin on my phone and I’m only home late at night

[@echutch]

Travis makes weather comment. Immediately ridiculed by Ryan and agronomist...quietly exits stage left.

[@jeffgixer5185]

Hate using those spreaders. Very inaccurate.

[@ignasanchezl]

They need an Amazone ZA-TS or ZG-TS

[@t.sweetwater653]

Jeff Gixer yea probably one of the worst ways to apply fertilizer

[@t.sweetwater653]

One of the worst ways to apply fertilizer
