as an applicator who never went to college, and just went down a rabbit hole, trying to learn about the products i was working with, we were like the only location of our company that didnt do any anhydrous. i was always curious what the farmers did with it when they got it, this was very in depth and helped me understand alot i didnt know.

I remember the videos where Laura was knifing anhydrous in a few years ago. She was super careful working with this. She certainly respected it.

I am so glad you mentioned the nitrogen credits that soybeans leave. As a farmer myself I was told many yrs by few agronomists (one a brother inlaw) that there are no N credits left. We would go round and round on it. As always. Great video. Lots of information.

The best of your posts so far. Our family farm has been reduced to 2-8x10 planter boxes My grandfather was killed in 1937 when a tree they were hand cutting kicked back and killed him. In that time the farm ran on two mule power. Even my father's generation would be amazed with the vastness of what you folks do today. I learned to drive on one of the little gray and red Ford tractors. I think it was 40 HP, pulling a hay wagon being hand loaded with square bales and thought I was the king of the world.. We've come a long way baby or at least you have. Thanks for the weeds. That's the interesteresting part.

Really appreciate you getting the farming story out there great job! It's going to be my 51st crop and just love seeing how things are done in other states.

Wow I grew up farming in the 90s w 60-70s dear John equipment, with pops and grandpa Blows my mind the equipment complexity, I own a refrigeration- food service company now Back then with all manual input equipment boy was it boring, no phones electronics, radio nothing but ole deere john motors singing and thoughts to ponder on

My son lost 2 tons of ammonia last week. He hooked the hitch but the spring loaded pin popped up when going to the center of the pivot. The quick coupler also failed to shut off along with the excessive flow valve in the tank when the hose ripped. He was in a hurry to take the wife and kids to the beach for spring break so he opened the valve before he got to the application point. I have never had an accident in 62 years.

Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3) is also the most efficient means to transport hydrogen, for things like Hydrogen Fuel Cell powered vehicles. It is a simple step to convert NH3 to hydrogen at the point that hydrogen is delivered to vehicles like cars and trucks. The good news is that there is already a significant infrastructure for transporting and storing NH3. Cool beans!

Great video very informative. Farming is a science it seems, more than dropping a seed in the ground. For a non farmer it's all very interesting and I appreciate all the hard work you folks do.

I think you did a great job of explaining how Anhydrous works both chemically and mechanically in the implement. I know Anhydrous is cheap but it takes a lot of it as it adds up on a farm your size. Would the lower nitrogen via Anhydrous and feeding via the pivot work on a larger scale or is that part of the test? Would it be cheaper even if yield is a little less? Guess that’s all part of your test plot.

Only help I can add is when you mentioned there were hydrogen "molecules" attached to the nitrogen, those were really hydrogen "atoms" attached to the nitrogen. The entire combination--NH3 or NH4--is called a molecule. Otherwise, great vid! 😀👍👍 (I used to work in a hospital laboratory so I know a little about chemistry.)

Hey Cale, how many acres does one trailer load of anhydrous ammonia cover? This would be applied via your 30+ foot wide applicator? Is it applied by pounds per acre, and how do you know when you’re out? Thanks, Steve

Thank you Cale for explaining the anhydrous. I found it most informative. I didn't however see the white smoke rising as I do in South Texas any reason?

@rogerfillion2804 11 ай бұрын

Great scientific explanation about NH4! Question: Are you able to explain what's up with what seems to be a challenge to which farmers are subjected to with regard to problems with CO2? If not it's ok 🙂

I get the N for my maize plants by burying grass. As the buried grass decomps it releases Nitrogen. One thing is that I have to be a bit careful with what I plant where because it's a time release and some crops (like CARROTS) don't like too much Nitrogen. Also, yes, Legumes leave more Nitrogen behind.

Anhydrous Ammonia helps plants grow. Promotes production of grain (Corn). Problem is; over production of something, causes the price of that something (Corn) to go down. In 2023, U.S. farmers achieved a record corn crop. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported that corn production reached 15.342 billion bushels, surpassing pre-report estimates and representing a 12% increase compared to 2022

does your soil structure suffer from continuous cropping? do you have a reference for what it was like say 50 yrs ago?

@kevinwiley9696 11 ай бұрын

I know I don’t need to tell you but PLEASE be careful and be sure to pass on your safety knowledge/message to all your kids about the dangers of Anhydrous Ammonia. Being a Firefighter on our Hazmat Team here in Illinois there are a lot of these tanks on every farm….much like Nebraska. One very sad safety video is of an Illinois State Trooper who responded to a leaking tank and the wind shifted and he ended up in the middle of the cloud. Unfortunately he did not survive.😢😢

Does one crop of beans produce/fix enough nitrogen to support a crop of corn without added nitrogen?

@davidmiller854 11 ай бұрын

Beans produce about 1 pound of N for every bu. of yield so 60 bu. yield would leave about 60 lbs. of N and he is shooting for 260 bu. of corn. It does save him some N

The USDA says production topped 15.342 billion bushels, above pre-report estimates and 12% larger than 2022, with a record high average yield of 177.3 bushels per acre (January 12, 2024 ) / For corn, soybeans, and wheat, yields are expected to increase at rates consistent with historic trends, reflecting continuing advancements in production practices and in technology, including improvements in seed varieties and chemicals. U.S. crop prices are projected to decline in the next 3 years and then generally stabilize.(February 09, 2023) Based on this report, maybe farmers should cut back on grain production?
