I'm a Trucker who's been driving for about 6 yrs but am new to the Hazmat side of the business. This guy allowed me to understand the importance/usage of Anhydrous Ammonia more than all my orientation instructors & all the Truckers I know... combined!😅👏🏽 Thank you my man!🫡
This video was awesome, so cool to learn everything and why you’re putting down the amount you are etc. One of my favorite videos you’ve produced thus far
Good explanation on Nitrogen. Definitely good job explaining that this is what works for you. I agree one thing for sure is that each farm applies Nitrogen the way that works for that farm. And it can change depending on many factors. Over the years our farm has changed how we apply N several times. We use to use Anhydrous Ammonia. We then switched to 28%. We now use Urea spread in the spring, followed immediately by Spring tillage. And then side dress with 28% later. We have grown our best corn ever with that method and thus why we are staying with it. But like you said, you got to do what works for your farm. There is no 1 size fits all when it comes to what works on each farm
I was basing a dry land wheat ground. I had a shank wore out so the gas tube wasn’t going underground. The next year while combining . The strip of wheat 4 inches taller than rest of the wheat.
Excellent application of what material and method why you put N into this crop this described way. Could you also go onto to explain what you do to feed the Wheat crop as clearly this inter row method is not usable?
In this part of Texas it is possible to make 300 bu corn with just adding water and nitrogen with a sprinkler. Our soil has 27-29 cation capacity. and water holding capacity of 3.5" per foot. I stopped entering the contest when an area farmer made 465 bu corn. I was watching to see your mistakes and found few from what I learned 55 years ago in soil science classes. To break the N2 bond, the main ingredient is pressure along with a catalyst for higher ammonia yield.
A semi tanker makes handling uan easy. I hate pulling nh3 tanks. Add a few storage tanks at home to keep some in is nice. Is 32 not common there? They have mobile tanks now that u could take to berkey to store some in while sidedressing for weekends like today. U could get ez drops for your sprayer. Better than y drops imo
Considering different farmers plant on different spacings, how does the tank wheel spacing come into play ? Do some farmers need tanks with different wheel spacings ?
20" rows are too narrow to sidedress with Ammonia so that would require either a preplant application or a different form on N. There aren't any wide rows left. Is guess 95%+ of the corn is 30" rows here
Hey Nathan, I can't remember if you've covered this before, but what parameters do you use to make your N scripts? Yield goal, CEC, OM, planted population? Thanks and good luck out there.
I heard someone say that the electrical storm on the sun is causing the shift in Aurora Borealis and is also messing up GPS reception. Auto steer isn’t working.
autopath works well but don't like odd footage 60ft planter 60ft sidedress bar works great 35ft airseeder 43.75 grain head cutting wheat in relay soybeans I have the same problem it does still needs some work shifts would help deere still working on it we been running autopath something I can't talk about like your planter attachments.
As old French farmers, we in FRANCE only use just granulated, or liquid urea. For maize a little before sowing, or localized, and the rest at 6-8 leaves. We've always wondered why you guys incorporate anhydrous gas with retardants (N-serve) in November, only to sow the corn 6 months later, with needs that should wait 8 months! Do you still use always this system, which in fact predisposes you to nothing (nitrification in April, with no needs = loss)?🤓 It's difficult to predict mineralization, so losses are undoubtedly uncontrollable 💰. Are Americans farmers champions of blind driving? 🎯🎯 thank you to answer me.
@@BorderViewFarms I've also been watching Laura Farms (near Aurora NK) for 4 years and I seem to have seen an NH3 injection at the very beginning of spring (March), but springs are earlier there.Thank you
if you WOULD HAVE WAITED TO PLANT the rest of the stuff......... *IT WOULD HAVE RAINED AND IT WOULD STILL BE WET!!!!* and then you would be ''OH CRAP WE NEED TO GO MUDDING TO GET IT DONE!!! .......'' good thing you pushed and got it done cuz..... twaz prayers and good luck that popped those rain storms ''around you'' instead of ONTOP OF YOU ;) just saying the WEATHER that was around you the last 2 weeks has been.... pretty significant!!!
I have always used anhydrous too (we do it all before planting in the spring, though). At least on our farm we have always grown better corn using anhydrous compared to liquid though sidedressing doesn’t work for us because we have too many hills and hollows in my area of IA to make it worth doing. Knocks down too much corn in the end.
Show us all these worms that you have in your ground. Anhydrous kills most of them. When you dig in your dirt it looks lifeless. Your ground looks dead when you dig around in it. You have alot to learn about soil health.
Anhydous kills gophers out in a hay field, so why wouldnt it kill worms. Common sense tells you that. I want to see you dig up a shovel full of dirt and count the worms. I bet you cant find more then 2 or 3. My neighbor has been notilling for 30 years, you can go out in his field any time of the year and find a shit ton of worms. His soil is filled with life, yours not so much.
Excellent explanation. Even as a farmers son I learned something. Thank you.
Great information for civilians to understand what farmers do
As a 28 year chemistry teacher, “props” on the nitrogen discussion.
Ooh ok must have got something right! Thanks
@@BorderViewFarms HAVE A GOOD HOILDAY WEEKEND I LOVE YOU'RE VIDEOS. CAN'T WAIT FOR WHEAT HARVEST

An education unexpected for Saturday morning but well worth the time. Always enjoy your vids regardless if they are educational or otherwise.
Excellent lecture today prof Baker
This video was awesome, so cool to learn everything and why you’re putting down the amount you are etc. One of my favorite videos you’ve produced thus far
Very informative. Thank you!
Excellent explanation of the chemistry of nitrogen, ammonia, etc. i knew it was all related but not the specifics.
Great video. Excellent nitrogen discussion.
Happy birthday to your daughter!

City slicker here, thanks for the explanation on side dressing, well done. Like everything you do.
Very interesting video. Wishing you and your family a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend from Oklahoma
Superb with the nitrogen explanation. Love it at this level. Yeah, it makes sense. Thanks from across the pond. Regards Peter K
Thanks for the video
I appreciate the education.
I was basing a dry land wheat ground. I had a shank wore out so the gas tube wasn’t going underground. The next year while combining . The strip of wheat 4 inches taller than rest of the wheat.
You also could put up a Bulk . Tank for your anhydrous and LP.
Love It....Ask you what time it is and you tell us how to make a clock.
Excellent application of what material and method why you put N into this crop this described way.
Could you also go onto to explain what you do to feed the Wheat crop as clearly this inter row method is not usable?
Wheat is top dressed with 28% liquid using the sprayer.
Great job on NH3. I deliver tanks here in MN for the local Crystal Valley Coop.
Saw a 360 irrigator go by on a semi on I15 in northern Utah this week. Make me think of you!
Good morning Nathan from north Iowa !
Love the channel sir. Glad I found it I’m from Indiana and I miss seeing all the corn and bean fields. Don’t have that in the Mountains of Tn.
As far as urea application, have you ever looked at adding an air seeder tank to the field cultivator with a broadcast kit?
I can't believe you have dust. Here in Western KY we have had 7 3/4 inches of rain in the last 4 days and they are calling for more this weekend.
Enjoy your weekend. 😎🇺🇸

What benefit do you see of side dressing vs apply nh3 before plant. Here in Northeast Iowa we solely use it but put it on before planting
The sound the valve on the tank makes once you close the bleeder valve sounds like a good sound for a horror movie - the squeaky echo-y sound. 🙂
All that bird poop, is Brock slacking off? He should have seen that, drove to Berkey and washed that!!! Kidding!
On a side note did you find that closing wheel
Not yet
Just have to keep an eye out when side dressing them last field's
Good job. I would like to know if you are able to keep the boys away from your respirator!
Brock needs to Wash his New Tractor!🤣🤣

I'm basing it off of yield goal/ yield history. The zone do correlate with my seed population scripts as well.
Good morning
What do you do with the leftover treated seed at the end of the year?
Amy open bags just get saved for next year. Unopened bags can be returned
The microbial life population in the soil bounces back very fast, even if reduced massively. So I learned. ;)
What is our cost per acres. I know our cost for dry when up this year $350 a ton. We apply it to our hay field.
What is the sence of throwing that fence post in the woods?
It's not in the field
I heard someone say that the electrical storm on the sun is causing the shift in Aurora Borealis and is also messing up GPS reception. Auto steer isn’t working.
Working fine for me
It's Harrp doing that not the sun.
Is the dealer for your anhydrous in Berkeley closer than your new dealer
It's closer to the Berkey fields, not the Waldron fields
@@BorderViewFarms how much far away.
Salad dressing is going great 👍 lol
need to attach a giant magnet to the front of the tractor lol, those tire pokers hahahaha

It's not good for the ground... But I bet he cooks wit it
In IL I think your supposed to disconnect the anhydrous tank from applicator before road transport.
Is MI different
I'm not aware of any actual laws but definitely good practice to at least close the valves
Letting ice cream melt is almost criminal!!! (Kidding)
Love your channel, but bigger equipment is all ways better
, and she must be so wt

your ability to explain is above my pay grade.but interesting.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very Dangerous stuff...seen first hand what that stuff will do.When a cloud of it goes across a hay field....
Still wearing sneakers, give up on the boots and permeant chicken smell?
awaitin the replacement pair in the mail??? LOL HAHAHAHA
